I see two related abilities here, and I'm not quite sure if you want one of them or both: 1) The ability to add nodes (and edges) to the dependency graph as the graph is traversed by load operations. For example, the user might declaratively indicate that a module depends upon some stylesheet. You might want to add a node to the graph representing that stylesheet. The structure of the graph has an effect on order-of-execution, though, so adding edges can result in observable changes. 2) The ability to prefetch resources, given a URL which is currently loading. For example, the user might want to specify up-front a portion of the dependency graph so that resources in that graph can be downloaded in parallel. I don't think the current Loader spec allows either of those abilities. And it might be that the second doesn't really belong in the loader proper.
