"Otherwise:
The user agent must immediately execute the script block, even if other

"The core JavaScript language does not contain any threading mechanism, and
client-side JavaScript does not add any. Client-side JavaScript is (or
behaves as if it is) single-threaded."
Q1: Can JavaScript run in parallel in HTML5 ?
Obviously, the book thinks Client-side JavaScript is (or behaves as if it
is) *single-threaded*.
However,
HTML5 spec states 'the user agent must immediately execute the script block,
even if other scripts are *already* executing.',
Does it imply that scripts can be run in parallel?
So, whether or not JavaScript can be run in parallel in HTML5?

Q2:

"Running a script: When a script element is to be run, the user agent must
act as follows:..."
The process includes 9 steps, but I don't sure which step will take the
attribute 'async' into consideration.
Could someone give a hand? thanks
