Don't emit type=text/javascript on script tags #1207
Description
Hi,
I noticed mod_pagespeed includes a new "script" tag inside "head". Which is normal, but in this case the head already had a "script" tag:
<!DOCTYPE html><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0" xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xml:lang=en lang=en>
<head>
<script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script><script>var FileAPI={
Maybe there could be a way to merge these tags? Although their declaration is not strictly identical, I have heard that for certain doctypes, the "type" attribute of the "script" tag is unnecessary. Maybe stripping this attribute could be another "less bytes" optimization for pagespeed, and in this case merging two tags as well?
Thanks,
