I didn't notice at first that in the page I was looking at 
(www.google.com/search) the script in question is inserted in a settimeout 
callback, which certainly  explains the difference, from my simple 
"<script>" test page.

Is it the case then that any synchronous, non deferred insertion (whether 
dom or tag based) would run before DOMContentLoaded?
