Comment(by erilem):

 Replying to [comment:5 hsivonen]:
 > In WebKit, you are already using document.write and script aren't
 loading in parallel, so there'd be no load time increase compared to the
 status quo.
 >
 > In Firefox trunk right now, using document.write would increase load
 time compared to your current setup in Firefox 3.6. However,
 document.written scripts will load in parallel once
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543062 is fixed.

 > Contrary to what I wrote in http://hsivonen.iki.fi/script-execution/ ,
 the current plan (but not promise) is to make document.written scripts
 load in parallel in Firefox 4. (This retargeting to Firefox 4 is a new
 development after I filed this OpenLayers bug. The motivation of the
 retargeting to Firefox 4 is to make it possible for OpenLayers to move to
 cross-browser-compatible code without losing parallel loads in Firefox.)

 > Your patch looks good to me.

 Thanks a lot for your support, and the thorough explanations.
