What's the use case for that? Embedding of 3rd party widgets asynchronously: <script async src="3rd-party-widget.js"></script> Then the script could find its node in the document and replace it with whatever it wants. Another use case would be a (superficial) emulation of document.write() for scripts that have been embedded asynchronously. -- regards, Kornel Lesi?ski
