Suppose you have an HTML import foo.html that declares two modules: <script type=module id=a> ... </script> <script type=module id=b> ... </script>
How should they refer to each other? For example, if module id=b wants to import module id=a? I suppose the logical way is like this: import "#a"; Now, in the main page, you reference the HTML import: <link rel=import href="foo.html"> Now how would you refer to the modules? We can't have #b refer to it, since the scope of IDs is per-document, and the import has a separate document. The logical way to do it would be: import "foo.html#a"; ...but that means that "#a" and "foo.html#a" should resolve to the same canonical string in the "normalize" hook. Presumably then, that's the full absolute URL? And we look up the document in the import list? But what if the import hasn't been instantiated yet? Should "normalize" just wait until it has been? (Otherwise, the module registry won't have the module and so "locate" will be called and "locate" won't have any idea what to do with that URL.) None of this is very compelling. Is there some expected way to do this that I haven't thought of?
