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.
