So I guess my worry here is that the loose dependency could be hard to
debug. As a concrete example, we use crossorigin=anonymous on our <script>
tags so that we can get stack traces. My understanding is that this
requires an Origin header to be sent with the request and a CORS header in
the response. If my  <link rel="preload" doesn't have a crossorigin
setting, the requests wouldn't match up.

I guess what I'm asking for here is some programmatic way of connecting the
fetch with the consumption. For example, exposing the fetch object of the
rel=preload and allowing you to construct a script tag explicitly with the
fetch object.
