CCing Inspector folks. :)

In short, "Modernizr.load" and other libraries do some mildly hacky prefetching by loading JavaScript via an Image element (or Object element in Firefox).

Given that it's a fairly widely-used technique, would you be ok with providing some sort of workaround for this message? The simplest solution would be to allow script MIME types to be loaded as images without a warning by adding a check to _mimeTypeIsConsistentWithType.

WDYT?
