I have just found that existing Mozilla versions like Firefox 1.0 or 
Mozilla 1.7.2 also execute <script type="text/javascript;e4x=1">. Makes 
sense, probably see that e4x as an unknown parameter to the recognized 
MIME type text/javascript. Still I had hoped that at least for Mozilla 
there is a way to include e4x script in a HTML page and avoid that 
Mozilla versions that do not know e4x try to execute it. Is there 
currently a way?
