When WebKit or Firefox trunk create an HTML script element node via Range::createContextualFragment, the script has its 'already started' flag set, so the script won't run when inserted into a document. In Opera 10.63 and in Firefox 3.6.x, the script doesn't have the 'already started' flag set, so the script behaves like a script created with document.createElement("script") when inserted into a document.

I'd be interested in use cases around createContextualFragment in order to get a better idea of which behavior should be the correct behavior going forward.
