A new (-01) draft is in development. Further, the ECMA 262 committee
want ECMAscript registered as text/ecmascript. We will wait to see
what happens, but will not change our spec in the meantime.

Its likely that both text/ecmascript and application/ecmascript will
be registered.

Its certainly better to point to a vendor-neutral and standardised
language like ECMAscript than it is to point to a less well defined
and vendor-specific language such as JScript or JavaScript.
