Description

This proposal is all about putting module attributes inline in the JavaScript source text. I believe this is better because it would be annoying to have to switch to a separate resource file to write the module type, and keep these in correspondence. Probably it would only be practical to generate from tools, not write by hand. I'd prefer if we can reduce the number of administrative steps we need tools for.

What do you think? Does anyone think that we put the attributes out of line, in some sort of resource file? If so, where should we put them? (unclear whether import maps would be suitable)
