I though that was the job of the proprietary, activex2.0 RIA vendors... Also the gains from this compared to the loss are very questionable... “Open Web” does not need to break standards, sure as a proposal for the *NEXT* standard of HTML this _might_ be a good suggestion, but breaking them…?

Also, wouldn't the use of "curScript.innerHTML;" run into to trouble with inline tag strings? Hmm, I guess I’m a bit too concerned with some unforeseen issues with browser vendors to like this too much:

First, this is invalid HTML according to the specs:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.1
http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#script

Second, HTML5 offers the defer, and async attributes

Third, shouldn’t we as good web developers have all our scripts in external files anyway?

Also, wouldn’t the use of “curScript.innerHTML;” run into to trouble with inline tag strings?
