Re: <script src=javascript:"..."> should do nothing

If "return" were allowed there (is it ?  It is
not within a function), then surely the string
returned should be treated as the URL of the
JavaScript file to be loaded/executed, as in :

<p>An in-line script :
 <script src="javascript:return './demo.js'">
 </script>
</p>
</body>
</html>
