Hence the "in theory". If WebKit did suspend script execution on requests for information that pending stylesheets might influence, then theory would match practice. It currently does not (which I believe is contrary to what the spec says). I'm curious if this actually negatively impacts anyone in the wild, as suspending script execution in the middle of a block to wait for a network load is generally not ideal.
Sure. The Gecko behavior is to not run the inline script until the stylesheets have loaded, just like webkit (and Gecko) does for non-inline scripts.
Any inline script that asks for layout information is affected, right? Good question on how much this is a problem in practice. I don't have data on that....
