It's a work in progress, but the last public post from me about it was: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-whatwg-archive/2013Aug/0277.html I'm currently going through feedback sent since then to work out how to proceed in its design; that's what led me to looking into the HTML Imports and ES6 Modules features. The basic theme of <script needs=""> is making it possible for resources (probably more than just scripts) depend on each other and delay loads until they are needed. For example, being able to say "this script shouldn't download yet. When it is needed, though, it should also download and apply this style sheet, that image, that HTML Import, and that other script, and then once all of those are downloaded and applied, it should itself be applied". There's also related work into how to control the relative priority of downloads (e.g. needed now, needed after things that are needed now, not yet needed, not yet needed but may be precached). -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
