OK, one thing I was wondering about was what "subresources" encompassed. Is it
limited to stylesheets? The other thing was "preceding" - what if the script
inserts a <link rel="stylesheet">? Should it block until it's loaded?

Finally, if the desired behavior is not specified, could there be a way to
apply it as a quirk only to pages that may actually need it (those whose
authors haven't heard of onload)?

Especially given that, it would be very sad to not even start executing any
script until stylesheets have loaded, although that does seem to be exactly
what Firfox does :-(
