For external script the problem is that it is only valid for these

Sorry, this is not true. However it is much more useful for such tags
to be in the head section anyway..
Why useful?
I read some research a while back that said that the popular
browsers pause from rendering while external scripts are loaded -
so the page gets rendered fastest if external script references
are all at the end of the body section. So that's where I put mine.
Because the components are rendered and available for the user to access
before the scripts are loaded.
If a button has an onclick that references a function defined in an
external javascript file, then the user will get a javascript error if
they click on the button while the page is still loading.
