 This is a good idea. Additionally, the script tag can also be used for
 adding structured data using type="application/ld+json".

 See here for more information:
 https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data

 Also, given that the text/javascript is the default for scripts, having
 type="text/javascript" there is not needed, and the latest W3 validation
 tool actually returns a warning for it with "The type attribute is
 unnecessary for JavaScript resources."

 So it might be worth removing that default as well, and allowing for
 registered scripts to change the type via some data attached to the
 handle. Then only output the type attribute when it's explicitly set by
 the code.
