This isn't even the current behaviour, nor the behaviour of any mark-up
language, script is executed when the script element is parsed, I think it's
clear this is not the case, but obviously not.

No, all script elements should be executed immediately as now. (external
scripts with externalResourcesRequired false being the one exception,
analgous to the defer attribute in HTML) Certainly no change to the
existing behaviour should be considered, and changing from the behaviour of
all other markup languages and scripts should be very much a last resort.

This should result in a script error.
