I don't think there is a need to put a meaning to them. Those scripts
are post document load out-of-band scripts. I didn't look deep into them
but I imagine that they are triggered by the document load event. The
DOM specifications (almost) always assumed that there could be more than
one thread at a time manipulating the DOM tree that are ignorant of each
other.
