Narrative:

[We were] landing runway 34R at slc. On landing rollout; approaching taxiway H9; tower advised; 'hold short of taxiway H; exit at taxiway H9; and contact ground.' as we turned onto taxiway H9; slowing to hold short of taxiway H; a B767 passed right across our nose at a brisk speed. There had been no mention of the traffic approaching our exit taxiway; just the hold short instruction. I stopped the aircraft short of taxiway H and short of a safe clearance from the taxiing 767. It was very evident to both pilots and the jumpseat pilot for the potential danger of exiting a high speed taxiway and not being advised of traffic approaching from our blindside. While taxiing to the gate; we were advised to cal the tower when we got to the gate. The tower supervisor informed me that they had expected us to completely clear the runway on taxiway H9 and hold short of taxiway H. I told him that we had cleared as far as possible given that the 767 taxied right in front of us. There was no way to tell if we had completely cleared the runway; but it was very clear of where to hold short of the taxiway with the 767 on it.
