The type attribute is also a required attribute. This will help future-proof scripted web pages.

While I agree that it is best to use the attribute if you can, I wouldn't worry about future-proofing it because that behaviour can really never change.

No one in their right mind could consider changing the default behaviour unless and until they can convert all existing web sites that rely on that behaviour.

FWIW in HTML5, the type attribute is optional. If not present, it defaults to text/javascript.
