There are some cases where teams have chosen to use <script> tags for an assumed performance benefit, but I don't know of anyone ever having measured it. Most of the time people use <script> tags for cross-site or late-loading behavior. If we could make iframes work for these cases, and show that there's no performance benefit to <script> tags, it may be less of an issue.</pre><pre> The iPhone only has problems rendering iframes (it essentially drops their content into the outer page as though it were inline), but that's about it.
