I'm still a little confused about the Script object change; it's important enough to be mentioned in the release notes, but nobody seems to understand it! Ah, thanks for clearing that up.

All it does is triggering hasLayout. If you apply it to a block it will still be block, for instance. Although if you apply it to inlines then they will be inline-blockish. AIUI, the "Script" object is some internal object of sorts (I haven't found any real documentation about it, only seen it being mentioned in passing in documentation) that is not necassary and causes security issues. So it was removed. It has nothing to do with the HTML "script" element. Presumably Gecko's implementation of stylesheet switching didn't exactly match the HTML5 spec before, but now it does.
