Indeed, that is what I read over and over again.
Is it [still] true in modern browsers?

Questions:
When will this script execute? 
Immediately?

Meseems the whole approach only makes sense for 
adding an external script by a script.

=========================

Now when the page has finished loading,
using the DOM to add such script node,
by onload = .. or interactive like onclick = ...,
seems the way to go:

var s = document.createElement('script');
s.type = 'text/javascript';
s.src = 'http://????/???.js';
document.body.appendChild(s);

Questions:
When will this execute? 
Immediately?
Only after the appendChild()?
Is the appendChild() even necessary for execution?
