The problem is timing; WHATWG uses promises, which Node cannot use due to
existing code bases on npm + potential mixing w/ `require`. This causes
time discrepancies and would mean different actions depending on how
exactly hooks are specced out. Node does not want to prevent async loading
on the browser, and the WHATWG loader does not want to cause breakage in
Node.
