he seems to be opposing is definitive, exhaustive and that is what
Internet Explorer 7 does. Scripts attached to elements included in
supported objects do not run. An unsupported object gets nuked and
replaced with its content.
That has more to do with IE's crazy handling of <object> elements than
with the question at hand, though. IE will have to change here regardless
even to be compatible with DOM2 HTML and HTML4, let alone HTML5. So we
shouldn't consider it in this discussion. The other browsers are all
consistent in their behaviour.
Here is the list of elements that we *don't* execute scripts inside of
in firefox:

i.e. <iframe>, <noframes>, <noembed>
Everywhere else we do execute the script.
The reason these elements ended up at the list is in bugs
