There is *a lot* of scripts out there. However browsers have never
have enforced a mimetype check for <script> loads, which has resulted
in great many (probably the majority) of these scripts are not server
with a mimetype declaring them to be javascript.

As a result of this, the benefit of ignoring the mimetype is that we
can access the vast body of scripts available on the web.
