Correct. Another option would be to use __data__ to grab a single element that 
has script code as the CDATA child of a single parsed element. This would be 
async.

Should be available on almost all common Windows IE versions (>= 5.0). MacIE 
doesn't have such a thing to the best of my knowledge, although we don't 
support MacIE anyway. This will also not work on Opera or Konqueror/Safari. 
Mozilla >= M18 will work.
