It is possible with Internet Explorer 3.2, if faced with a content inserting proxy, which inserted <script language="vbscript"> into the document before the OP's script element, then without a language="javascript", IE would assume it to be vbscript. A rather unlikely combination of events IMO, never having a seen or even heard of a proxy which did that, or many IE3.2 users with a proxy, I don't think it's likely, and I don't expect you'd want many scripts being executed in IE3.2 either as it would just hit your object detection and be rejected being such a hobbled script engine.
