This is a good point. Would this have performance implications for
down-level browsers? I don't know if prescanners etc in contemporary
browsers are smart enough to ignore <script> tags that use a non-JS
type attribute.
Gecko's is not. Not least because as far as I can tell scripts with
unknown type are in fact always loaded,
In my testing this appears to not be the case.

This gives nothing in the Network tab in Firefox or in my TCP inspector.
I think this is the same as what the spec requires and what at least
WebKit/Blink/Presto also do.
Sorry, not Presto.
See step 7 in
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/scripting-1.html#prepare-a-script
(the fetch happen in step 14).
But it seems you are correct about the behavior of the speculative
parser in Gecko:

Same in WebKit/Blink.
