I wouldn't be particularly opposed to dropping the load event, unless
there's a use case for the guarantee that the resource won't be evicted from

If there is a need for that, then I think we should add some kind of pinning API, although I'm not sure how it would avoid the problem of greedy authors
pinning resources unnecessarily. But we'd have to consider the actual use
cases.

I'd say that the autobuffer attribute is exactly that API, which gives both author control and browser liberty to ignore it when necessary.
