> My favorite is type="module" which competes with the higher level attribute nomodule="true". Anyways it looks like <script> has taken a lot of abuse over the years:

It "conflicts" in the same way noscript[1] and script "conflict" no? They're basically related features, but can't really be made exclusive because the mere act of trying to do so wouldn't work: as the link indicates, executing code in a !module browser reserves the type (requires a specific set of types) so you can't use that as a way to opt in !module browsers.

[1] an other fun element with wonky parsing rules besides

You can write:

    <script nomodule="true" type="module"></script>

Which is a little weird. At the very least I'd expect the type="module" documentation to say that `charset`, `defer` and `nomodule` attributes have no effect.

It does? https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#attr-s...

It specifies it in the abstract. Did you mean to link here instead of to the 'src' attribute documentation?

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#attr-s....

My expectation was that this condition would have been reflected in MDNs documentation where it breaks the conditions for 'charset' and 'defer' out.

Why? MDN does not purport to be exhaustive, that's the spec's job.
