I thought it was quite a nice idea.

Why would it not be? It's describing what's in the script tag, just like it's supposed to do. It's even a quite much used pattern for doing client side templates <script type="text/template"> on the web today.

Mime types are not magical any more. Before we could make our own text/x-whatever, but prefixes are not really any use. If you want something specific to your program you could always use something specific as prefix, -- but for this use case just doing  text/server-js  seems rather nice :-)
