 render a placeholder tag for where the script would affect, but I guess it
 would be possible for a script to affect the entire page instead of
 needing that placeholder tag.

 I'd love to see an example of this in the wild. Otherwise, the current
 behavior seems more counter-intuitive: if I add a plugin that filters out
 all blocks of a given type, I wouldn't expect its CSS and JS to still be
 added to the page.
