Now that the type attribute of the <script> tag can be omitted in HTML5, is this the fewest number of characters required to include external JavaScript on a page?

<script src="URL"></script>

Can anyone optimise it any more than this – what about if a framework such as jQuery was already loaded, is there an even shorter way?

    You could omit the quotes for the attribute:

    <script src=URL></script>

    As well, with XHTML5 the following should work:

    <script src="URL" />
