Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

The value "text/javascript" for the type attribute of the script tag is supported. However it is deprecated according to web standards.

The newer value for the attribute should be: "application/ecmascript".

With that value, syntax highlighting and auto-complete are lost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a jsp (or html) page
2. Add a tag <script type="application/ecmascript">/* some script here */</script>
3. Notice, no syntax highlighting or autocomplete

Updated our partitioner's list of mime types. This resolved the error with syntax highlighting and fundamentally enables JSDT's support for content assist; however, it seems like there is a JavaScript Model Exception when trying to invoke content assist in these new regions. I've opened Bug 350617 to accommodate this.
