That documentation has an error in it.  "text/javascript;e4x=1" is a
"content type".  (As in the HTTP "Content-Type" header.)  Not a MIME type

All MIME types are content types.  However, not all content types are MIME
types.

 (The MIME type in that is "text/javascript".  That ";e4x=1" stuff at the
end, it's not allowed by MIME types.  But content types can have those.
Content types can also have a comment in brackets... if I remember
correctly.)

Incidently, as far as I know, all the HTML elements that take a "type"
attribute expect a content type.  (And not just a MIME type.) Like <link>,
<script>, <stytle>, <a>, etc.



See ya
