Incorrect description of an example

Hi, the example at 
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.4

suggests that a piece of javascript writing characters into the source 
has the same effect as static HTML code. It fails to note taht this is 
only true for browsers which support javascript and where it has not 
been disactivated.

This strikes me as an important omission, given that the reader would 
need to cover a different section of the document before getting such 
information.

The validity constraint specified in that section of the document means 
that there is a necessarily implied body element (since the subsequent 
p element is not allowed to appear in the head of the document). My 
experience with authors suggests that this is not understood by them, 
and that it would be helpful to include one.

Cheers

Chaals
