Also for inline scripts: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/10035

Usage is still low, but seems to be increasing: https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/4183 currently 0.03% of page loads.

I assume the usage is low because it's not cross-browser supported.

Currently, the usage is at ~0.1%. What is the threshold to start developing the feature?
