I haven't had any problem with scripts executing as type="text/javascript" under
IE3 - IE5.5, Nav2 - Nav6, or Opera3.6 - Opera4.02 (excluding DOM differences, of
course).  What browsers did you use that didn't understand "text/javascript"?

(which has nothing to do with why they aren't registered, or whether MIME is
broken when it comes to the web, or ...)
