My view on this is that it doesn't just work for "http page preloads assets to get", and more like "http request preloads other http requests" ... the difference is, in the case of a CDN, they could basically download a JS file for, say, a JS framework, but also send you jQuery, etc because they know it's dependent.

All this is to get away from a lot of our current hacky workflows (like file concatenation).
