This sounds like a good idea to me. Seems useful for dynamically added stylesheets too, and possibly for stylesheets where the href attribute is dynamically changed. Same thing goes for the <style> element since an inline stylesheet can have @import rules. Garrett: Whatever we decide when it comes to the defer attribute, it is always useful to have scripting APIs as well. There is just no way that you can cover all use cases declaratively, so it's useful to be able to fall back to using scripting for cases not covered. / Jonas
