How much will break?

I don't claim to be an expert in javascript, but I continue to find myself working with it. As I was working on a separate issue, I saw that the language attribute of <script> has been depricated as of HTML 4.01. Ok. I can switch to type='text/javascript' easily enough. The issue that got my attention however, is that XHTML 1.0 does not support the language attrib. So, tons of existing javascript in HTML pages will be rejected in the XHMTL world. That will create a significant barrier to adoption for XHTML.
