It won't examine the file downloaded via <script src="ascript.js">
(unless the HTTP response claimed it had a MIME type of "text/html"
for some reason!), but it will examine the contents between a
<script> and a </script> tag.
For example, a recursive retrieval on a page like this:
<html>
<body>
<script>
<a href="foo.html">foo</a>
</script>
</body>
</html>
will retrieve "foo.html", regardless of the <script>...</script>
tags.
