Section 18.2.1 of the W3C HTML 4.01 Specification
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html> also provides that
the "type" attribute should be used to perform the function previously
carried out by the <script> element's "language" attribute.

Brett,
The language attribute of the script element was deprecated some time
ago.
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html>
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8 <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/>
However, other might know a bit more about this.

Subject: [WSG] JavaScript Language Clarifying within HTML
I am not sure about the most recent standards regarding the "language"
attribute of the SCRIPT tag within an HTML page, so I would like to know
if it is still recommended to use the "language" attribute within the
SCRIPT tag?
And what version, if it is recommended to use that attribute, would one
specify to have the most in both backwards and forwards compatibility?
