We implemented blocking external script execution on stylesheet loads years ago. Using this bug for the remaining work seems appropriate. Your test case is about inline scripts too.

> Please don't get me wrong, I'm not opposing this change myself, but there seems to be significant controversy around it. I'm also not sure what Mozilla did in <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84582> in the end.

What controversy? The only reason we didn't do this along with the original change was that it was much more work with the old parser and there was other stuff to do. Having this kind of behavior difference between inline and external scripts makes no sense at all (besides, HTML5 requires it and no other engine behaves like this as far as I know).

I think the unclear part is what to do with script inserted external stylesheet/inline script pair. The patch maintains the old behavior in this rare case for now even though HTML5 (or Gecko) apparently do not have this special case. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40047 had some discussion...
