So, deferring is the wrong word… delaying, deprioritising, etc. If we could set stylesheets to load after everything else, that would satisfy that requirement fine, and remove the JS dependency. It would also effectively get rid of the performance issue, and would be an adequate alternative to autoload="false", at least from the user's perspective.
