Scripts output syntax enhancement for HTML5

[poxtron]

Hi there, I was wondering why enqueued scripts have the 'text/javascript' type when its no longer necesary in HTML5.

Found the exact part on the code that needs to change, making a filter or using an action is not posible, is on

wp-includes/class.wp-scripts.php line 142 and 144

the only thing thats needs to be done there is remove type='text/javascript' and that's it.

Will not affect existing sites, but it will make the code look more poetic. ;)

The "type" attribute is required in HTML 4, but optional in HTML5. HTML5 is opt-in via DOCTYPE, someone correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the report.
