Thomas,
I could agree with your interpretation, but then I read: 18.1.2 Local declaration of a scripting language It is also possible to specify the scripting language for each individual 'script' element by specifying a type attribute on the 'script' element. from which I understand that it is not compulsory. Since it is stated at 18.1.1 that default value is "text/ecmascript", and the whole thing is not exhaustively specified in detail, then one is allowed to leverage on common sense in one's interpretation of understatements of human language. So my interpretation is that it is optional. I figure a case where I would use it could be: contentScriptType = "content-type" 'script' element "other content-type" What do you guys think?
