I think it makes sense to use a variable here -- if for no other reason
that the string is used two different places in the eww source code, and
avoiding repeating that long string is nice.  But leaving it
undocumented (in the manual) is fine, I think, as I don't see anybody
ever wanting to change it.

So I've applied Federico's patch to Emacs 27.1.
