Ah, yes. good point. I can require that relatively simply (just have the 
tasks that are queued for 'load' events themselves delay the page's load 
event), should I? It seems like you can still get into weird conditions, 
like what if you have this situation:

   <body onload="">
     <img src=a onload="setTimeout(f, 100)">
     <img src=b>

If f() creates a new Image object, the order in which the events fire will 
depend on whether the timeout fires before or after b's onload fires.
