Allow returning SVGScriptElement from Document.currentScript too.

Gecko implements it like this (has Element in the IDL), while Blink only
supports this for HTMLScriptElement.

This requires adding a dependency on SVGScriptElement and SVG's script element. Using (HTMLScriptElement or SVGScriptElement) and talking about either HTML's or SVG's script element as the element being returned.
Comment 3 Fredrik S 2015-08-28 12:26:31 UTC 
That would be a bit unpleasant, yes. I noticed that the approach taken by Gecko is to use Element:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/webidl/Document.webidl#165

(Pprobably just a hack of course - vcs archeology would tell I suppose...)

which I imagine would need additional prose to limit what Elements can be returned.

It's not so bad I think. The main problem I think is that script execution is only well defined for HTML right now and SVG hangs a bit off the side rather than being part of it. I guess we can gloss over that for this issue though.
