Comment (by apedog):

 I don't think there is going to be a problem with a new {{{$attributes}}}
 parameter.
 It does not break back-compat.
 And ''should'' be compatible with other {{{script}}} tag attributes, like
 {{{type="module"}}} etc.

 Reading through this ticket, I don't think the implementation/patches are
 the bottle-neck. This seems to be blocked on the API. API needs to stay
 backward-compatible AND future-proof (ie. allow not only for defer/async
 but also for other attributes that might be relevant to the HTML script
 tag). No one's going to look at the patches as long as an API is not
 agreed upon.
