Section 18.2.2, "Local declaration of a scripting language" [p.239]
The first paragraph read: "It is also possible to specify the scripting language in each SCRIPT
element via the type attribute. In the absence of a default scripting language specification, this

SCRIPT element instance in a document. The value of the type attribute for a SCRIPT element
overrides the default scripting language for that element."
