Description
Continuation of https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=23878#c20.
I'd be nice if there was an ~observer API that allowed an application to be notified when new fetch requests are added to the registry - see discussion in [1]. As a related question: when would fetch objects be made visible, when the request is initiated? If so, then that would be sufficient to solve the use case in [1], and if not then we'd have to investigate alternative routes.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked W3C bug and performance-timeline discussion, then review the fetch registry and when fetch objects become visible. The issue is done only when the project agrees on whether an observer API or request-visibility timing addresses the use case and records a concrete design.
