Sorry, I didn't get that.

A 'depends' attribute would work like the 'for' attribute of SCRIPT
element in older versions MSIE, with a difference: if (any of) the
resource(s) has a fetching algorithm associated, the event does not
fire until that has successfully completed.

Also, depends=[DomTokenList] could be, instead of depends=IDREF
