[New-bugs-announce] [issue34875] Change .js mime to "test/javascript"

[Myles Borins]

New submission from Myles Borins <mylesborins at google.com>:

I propose to change the mapping of file extension .js to mime type "text/javascript" from "application/javascript.

"text/javascript" is the currently documented best practice in the whatwg HTML spec.
