[whatwg] about 2.12. Scripting

hi(^^)/

about 2.12. Scripting

http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-script
interface HTMLScriptElement : HTMLElement {
           attribute DOMString text;
           attribute DOMString src;
           attribute DOMString type;
};


Why isn't there Charset attribute ?

i think ... the charset attribute is necessary for Script Tag.
Because, beforehand, we do not know charset that read by src attribute.


reference:
HTML4.0
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1
<!ELEMENT SCRIPT - - %Script;          -- script statements -->

  charset     %Charset;      #IMPLIED  -- char encoding of linked resource --
  type        %ContentType;  #REQUIRED -- content type of script language --
  src         %URI;          #IMPLIED  -- URI for an external script --
  defer       (defer)        #IMPLIED  -- UA may defer execution of script --

           attribute  DOMString            event;
           attribute  DOMString            charset;
           attribute  boolean              defer;
           attribute  DOMString            src;
           attribute  DOMString            type;
};
