What is the purpose of the `class` attribute of the `script` tag in `index.html`? #462

I found that the script tag in index.html uses the class attribute.

https://github.com/w3c/clreq/blob/58376bca9a35a5e069a7b704d46b27e2f8ed085c/index.html#L9

I didn't know that script had this attribute and thought it was some kind of feature, so I looked up MDN.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script

But I couldn't find it in the MDN, so what is its purpose?

The Respec content management code uses this script to generate the page, then removes the no longer needed javascript from the final rendered document.

So the class attribute is a description of the purpose of this script? Right?

r12a commented 2 years ago

The class attribute is being used to indicate to the CMS that it should remove the not-needed script code from the rendered page. So not so much a description of the purpose of the script, but a description of what to do with the script.
