Can't you tell this from the load event for the <script> tag, without 
involving the error event in any way?

I'd love it if we could close this hole up, but the ship has long 
sailed.  :(

I'm not sure that onerror and onload are really different ways to tell here.

Unless the proposal is that in this case onload fire instead of onerror 
for the script that ends up as an HTML document?
