This thread pretty much resolved itself, but for the record:

* createContextualFragment() is here:
    http://html5.org/specs/dom-parsing.html#dom-range-createcontextualfragment
  ...and re-enables scripts before returning them; the parser doesn't 
  execute them synchronously.

* innerHTML doesn't run scripts and they are inserted disabled.

Indeed. I am not omniscient. :-)
