[Merging the digest reply from Charles]
Thanks, sorry about breaking the subject line.
For others: this mini thread is in relation to <intent><script
src=""></script></intent> behavior.
I would prefer to treat it like a embedded content element [1] and
have the intent spec define how fallback content should be presented
and parsed - so we would define that<script> is ignored in a
conforming UA. In our case we would want to work like the video
element [2] with the added script restriction.
Is this a completely abhorent solution?
Yes, that's completely abhorrent.
Remember, <video> uses new tags, like <source>, so it can get away with
such trickery.
<script>, like the <img> tag, is old magic. We would have to change the
HTML parser or otherwise alter DOM semantics to make it work.
Image content and script content in the dom, with a src attribute, will
be loaded regardless of tags, with the exception of noscript.
<video><img src="content.jpg" /></video> -- that'll still load the
image, though it won't display it.
