Summary

Allows a speculation rules script element to have a src pointing to a file of speculation rules, enabling developers to easily reuse a set of speculation rules across HTML documents.

Web Feature ID

speculation-rules

Motivation

Allows developers to easily reuse speculation rules across documents by providing the src in the HTML script element of type "speculationrules". Developers expect this functionality to be supported and currently have to use a classic external script to inject the speculation rules as a workaround. https://github.com/WICG/nav-speculation/issues/348

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way).

This change was meant to be part of the base speculation rules HTML spec change for completeness. See https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11123#issuecomment-3336819191
