We fail the IE testcase at http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/ietestcenter/HTML5/show_async_test.htm?09_DOMContentLoadedDelay

The ordering of DOMContentLoaded and the "1" script is a recent spec change, I believe.  That script actually needs to be serialized against other scripts, but I bet we don't do that yet.  This testcase doesn't really test that as far as I can see.

The ordering of "defer" scripts and DOMContentLoaded is a separate issue.  It looks like they're in fact supposed to run before DOMContentLoaded.

Can you please spin off one of these issues into a separate bug and decide which one you want this bug to be about?  Or use this as a tracker and file two new bugs?  ;)

I will file two bugs.

Chrome and IE pass the test. Firefox still fails. Does this bug affects something other than the (useless?) test?

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Hard to say.  We still need the two bugs from comment 1... and then figuring out what the spec now says, what we do, and what IE/Chrome do.

Bug 688580 has code, but I didn't have the bandwidth to keep pushing in when it failed review. Better not duplicate work already done there.

Move all DOM bugs that haven’t been updated in more than 3 years and has no one currently assigned to P5.
