I just sent email last week proposing a POSTONLOAD attribute for scripts.

It seems to me that the purpose of async scripts is to get out of the way of
user-visible functionality. Many sites currently attach user-visible
functionality to window.onload, so it would be great if async scripts at
least had a way to not block that event. It would help minimize the affect
that secondary-functionality like ads and web analytics have on the user
experience.

I'm concerned that this is too big of a departure from how people are
used to<script>s behaving.
If we do want to do something like this, one possibility would be to
create a generic attribute that can go on things like<img>,<link
rel=stylesheet>,<script> etc that make the resource not block the
'load' event.
