Chrome already does this in some cases, apparently. Testcase: ``` data:text/html,<link rel="prefetch" href="http://example.com" onload="alert(1)" onerror="alert(2)"> ``` Not sure whether it ever fires error here. Sites are working around the lack of these events by doing prefetching via img/object/etc hacks... Note the discussion https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/1142 though.
