Unfortunately, IE specifically ignores application/x-javascript.
For example, IE 5 does NOT execute
<SCRIPT type="application/x-javascript">
document.write('Hello.');
</SCRIPT>
whereas it does execute
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
document.write('Hello.');
</SCRIPT>
It seem to me that the best solution would be for the MIME types to get
registered ASAP. (FWIW I agree that text isn't a good choice of top-
level type.)
How about application/ecmascript?
