Have a flag on the DOM object.

I don’t think there’s any particular problem with allowing a <script> to
be re-executed if it is removed and then re-inserted into the document.
The only issue is that, as written in Tiny 1.2, the behaviour of
<svg:script> elements is different from HTML 5 (where each <html:script>
element can run only once in its lifetime).
