> 1mb for a single page isn't enough?

What about single-page apps where the whole app is "a single page". With this proposal, even lazily loading the extra bits would hit the limit.

I strongly suspect the true purpose of this would be to make javascript unusable for all but the most trivial cases, and to train end users to fear it like a virus, or find its presence annoying, making it an anti-feature. Killing SPAs would probably be a feature in that case.
