Indeed, and there are some things that need specifying around this.  See 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185236#c12 and 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185236#c15 for example.

Note that image onload events do fire asynchronously in Gecko even if 
the data is synchronously available, so I have no problem with defining 
that all the load events, including for inline <style> with no imports, 
fire async.

Note that inline scripts do not fire load events, by the way.  Inline 
sheets with @import really should, though, no matter what happens for 
inline sheets without @import.
