I'm not quite sure how this would work, since there are two things
that seem incompatible:

 * scripts are executed during parsing / content model construction

 * whether a media attribute is true can change over time

This seems to imply that we'd have to go un-execute a script, or
that we'd have to execute later something that was skipped earlier,
even when that no longer makes sense.


What was the actual use case you were trying to solve with this
attribute?
