The script is, sure, because you can't run scripts outside the document. But the information used by the script to set the MQ may be from "outside the document" or from inside. More importantly, *it doesn't matter*. You're trying to draw a distinction that, while it matches the intent of the spec-defined MQs, is worthless to actually enforce on authors. There's no benefit to be gained here from being restrictive. ~TJ
