The draft is quite vague on that point---it defines what the syntax of
scripts and libraries is, and assumes there's some way to figure out
that a piece of text is one, the other, or something else entirely.
Originally, I believe there was the notion that libraries would really
be a distribution format, and that original assumption (since
exorcised from the report) was that the same would hold for scripts.
This would seem to imply that there's need for action here somewhere.
