No.  They've been removed from elements (and windows) entirely.  They 
remain on Document.

In all modes?

Opera pointed to a specific script loader in the Facebook API that is 
not thus immune, as well as one in popcornjs.

Given an existence proof like that, "most" doesn't really cut it for me, 
unfortunately.

Or put another way, I would not be willing to implement readyState on 
scripts in in Gecko as things stand, without a lot stronger data 
supporting the fact that scripts no longer listen for both load and 
readystatechange.
