Re: request to register "preload"

Hi Erik,

The description is using terminology that might confuse people (See other registry entries for a flavour of what's typical.). I'd suggest something like:

"Refers to a resource that should be loaded early in the processing of the link's context, without blocking rendering."

...putting into the Notes:

"Target attributes establish the fetch properties of the link."

Does that make sense? 

Cheers,
