In summary no. The Working Group decided to add wording to the scripting chapter
[1] of the specification to clarify this. The new wording is the second
paragraph after the script element processing steps. This change will appear in
the next publication of the specification
Please let us know at your earliest convenience if the change and response is
satisfactory.
Kind Regards,
Anthony Grasso.
