IESG approved registration of the application/ecmascript and related media
types.

See:
IANA|Text Media-Types, http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/text/
IANA|Application Media-Types,
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/

RFC 4329 "Scripting Media Types" defines valid MIME-Types for ECMAScript and
JavaScript and marks which ones are invalid. See
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc4329.txt for details.

The use of the former used MIME Types text/ecmascript, text/javascript and
text/x-javascript is discouraged (marked obsolete) in favour of
application/ecmascript (ECMAScript) and application/javascript (JavaScript).

Web browsers should recognize and handle these new MIME Types correctly.
