Comment (by jonsurrell):

 In [changeset:"61440" 61440]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61440"
 Scripts: Remove default attributes from tags.

 `SCRIPT`, `STYLE`, and stylesheet `LINK` tags do not require a type
 attribute since the HTML5 standard was released in 2008. Removing the type
 attribute simplifies logic and normalizes the produced HTML content.

 Developed in https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/10664.

 Follow-up to [61411], [46164].

 Props jonsurrell, sabernhardt, westonruter.
 Fixes #64428. See #59883, #64442.
 }}}
