See Bug 6684 - Disregard of RFC 4329 and IANA MIME Media Types
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6684

The result of that bug's discussion is the green note in the specification's
prose at 
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-LC/infrastructure.html#dependencies

JavaScript

Some parts of the language described by this specification only support
JavaScript as the underlying scripting language. [ECMA262]

The term "JavaScript" is used to refer to ECMA262, rather than the official
term ECMAScript, since the term JavaScript is more widely known. Similarly, the
MIME type used to refer to JavaScript in this specification is text/javascript,
since that is the most commonly used type, despite it being an officially
obsoleted type [1] according to RFC 4329. [RFC4329]
