Yeah, I don’t think the scripts should be “removed” if the <script>
element is removed from the document.  (Neither the SVG Tiny 1.2 text
nor the HTML 5 text require that.)  Re-executing a <script> element
shouldn’t be hard though, if we decided to keep that requirement, since
it should be just the same as ‘eval’ing the text content of the element.
