Comment:

 Looks good to me.

 `text/javascript` is obsolete, `application/x-javascript` was
 experimental. `application/javascript` is the recommended type per RFC
 4329.

 However, `application/javascript` is not accepted in IE8 or earlier (per
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_media_type#Type_application
 Wikipedia]), not sure what this means for us (technically we still support
 IE7).
