Comment (by scribu):

 > This can be achieved by storing a list of used shortcode tags within a
 pages meta, likely while saving a post or page, that can later be used as
 a conditional check with, among others, wp_enqueue_script and
 wp_enqueue_style.

 Big -1. As described in IRC:

 {{{
 (01:40:45 AM) scribu: scenario: you make a simple shortcode that doesn't
 need additional css/js and you release it as a plugin
 (01:41:21 AM) scribu: afterwards, you make it fancier and now you do need
 a some additional css/js
 (01:41:36 AM) scribu: you release the updated version of the plugin and
 the user updates
 (01:41:52 AM) scribu: but wait, the user already has posts that use the
 previous version of the shortcode
 (01:41:58 AM) scribu: what happens then?
 }}}
