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

I think @justinfagnani's point here is interesting and I want to second it.  Even aside from security concerns, JSON imports seem like the wrong tool for consuming non-first-party JSON/CSS.  If the request 404's or if, say, the JSON has a parse error, the entire module graph will fail to instantiate/execute.  `fetch()` is the right tool in this scenario, with `import` being reserved for content that is directly controlled by the importer.  Otherwise all your module scripts could fail to run because of a missing `{` in third-party JSON...
