In some cases external scripts will use the contents of its own script tag for data or code:

RequestReduce ignores the contents of the external script, and bundles it with other external scripts.

Using the contents of an external script tag seems to be outside the bounds of "proper" HTML:

, but of course developers will do it anyway :-)
