In the code below, Firefox is not defering the javascript sections until after
the rendering portion of the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make an .html page from the code listed in additional information.
2.View the page.
3.Observe the output.

Actual Results:  
When you view this page, Firefox will:
   1>  Display the alertbox for zap
   2>  Completely ignore the second script because it generates an error
   3>  Renders the page and displays the <form> text

Expected Results:  
When you view this page, Firefox SHOULD:
   1>  Renders the page and displays the <form> text
   2>  Display the alertbox for zap
   3>  Completely ignore the second script because it generates an error

According to the HTML 4 spec, you shouldn't rely on DEFER having any particular
behavior, but I'm marking this as a dup of bug 28293 anyway because of bug 28293
comment 26.
