[[
Basic question about script: 

Can a script element remove itself from the XML tree ? If yes what is
the impact on the execution of the script

Example:
<script xml:id='test'>

var scr = document.getElementById("test");
scr.parentNode.removeChild(scr);

// more script 
...

</script>

Does this throw an exception ?

Does the "more script" get executed or not ?
