Re: [w3c/webcomponents] HTML, CSS, and JSON modules shouldn't solely rely on MIME type to change parsing behavior (#839)

FWIW, we are also having this same discussion about "import as type" in bundler land right now, specifically in Parcel. We don't have the same issues with security being discussed here, but do have a related issue where imported files could have multiple compiled representations that a user would like to choose from. See https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/3477. It would be nice to land somewhere standard syntax-wise across both bundlers and web browsers.

Our current thinking, without changing JavaScript syntax, is to add something in the module specifier (likely a protocol) to signal the type to import. I see that this is also being proposed here. I would also be happy with an extension to the `import` syntax for this, but I'd imagine that would be harder to get standardized (especially the list of supported module types).
