One more thing that I think is worth mentioning for the CNN website is that the WebXR icon is always displayed in the Awesomebar when navigating it. Should I open a new issue for this behaviour or is it expected?

CNN is probably still using WebVR. In that case the Icon will be visible much earlier.
