One comment I forgot (sorry, twitterific of me):
The fallback content, <script ...>...</script> could be inline or out of line
(use src= in the first ...). However, the altscript tag would have to use src=
and so its only script content would necessarily be out of line.
Fixing this is possible too, if I can take liberties:
<script-if type="application/ecmascript;version=6">
// new.js inline-exanded here
</script-if else>
<script ...>
</script>
</script-if end>
but now I'm hacking outside of HTML and SGML, with this if/else/end structure.
Perhaps there is a more standard way to do this (a marked section? ugh).
