Not entirely sure if this is the right reference doc: http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/script.html – but it doesn't make it clear what should happen if both `async` and `defer` attributes are set on a `<script>` element: <script src="myscript.js" async defer> Browsers all seem to give `async` precedence, and I agree that this is the most desirable behaviour, however logically `async` and `defer` aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. If both were applied, it might be reasonable to assume the behaviour might match that of `defer` alone. Could a note be added to this / any other relevant docs highlighting this behaviour? The WHATWG spec [1] suggests this behaviour, but isn't incredibly clear about it either. [1] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/scripting-1.html
