Thomas has asked for clarification on the www-svg mailing list, so we should probably wait for that to be clarified, the DTD clearly states it's required >"If 'type' were required 'contentScriptType' would be > useless" -Robin Berjon. The problem with this is it's incorrect, contentScriptType would still be useful for script within intrinsic events: <svg onload="wibble()"> That's why we need contentScriptType, not to identify what's inside script elements. See the spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/script.html#DefaultScriptingLanguage | contentScriptType = "content-type" | Identifies the default scripting language for the given document. This attribute sets the scripting | language used to process the value strings in event attributes. See, the "scripting language used ... in event attributes > a) the guy, writer, went momentarily insane while writing the spec > in ordinary language, then recovered while compiling the dtd section I don't agree the spec is this ambiguous > Do I really look dum if I pick c) option? I think it's an eminently sensible option to leave off the type element so it can work in the 3 user agents we're discussing here. However I don't think we should pretend the spec meant anything else than it actually says. Violating specs because it works is okay, violating specs because it works then changing the literal meaning of the spec retroactively I think is bad, I know it's the CSS route, but I don't think it's a good one.
