I'm not sure what you mean by "What should be the Syntax", but there is
no support in OpenLayers 2.5 for loading data in this way, and there has
not yet been any work done in supporting it for 2.6. (Doing
script-add-to-dom is great, but it offers significantly less control
over what exactly happens when your requests come back, which takes
additional work to get around, and so it is a non-zero chunk of work to
implement it.)
