Thanks, sorry about breaking the subject line.

For others: this mini thread is in relation to <intent><script 
src=""></script></intent> behavior.

Yes, that's completely abhorrent.

Remember, <video> uses new tags, like <source>, so it can get away with 
such trickery.
<script>, like the <img> tag, is old magic. We would have to change the 
HTML parser or otherwise alter DOM semantics to make it work.

Image content and script content in the dom, with a src attribute, will 
be loaded regardless of tags, with the exception of noscript.
<video><img src="content.jpg" /></video> -- that'll still load the 
image, though it won't display it.
