RESOLVED INVALID. (You may alternatively consider it WONTFIX. There's no need to stir boolean attribute reflection to consider attribute values in order to achieve the aims of http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11295 )

I think it's best not to try to make async any more magic than http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11295#c0 says. Making the DOM property not initially reflect the content attribute is bad enough. Please, please, let's not derail the chance to get interop between Gecko and WebKit here by having an argument about whether to also make the reflection of the async attribute even more magic by considering the attribute values.
