 By restricting the allowed `type` values and requiring the `type` attribute to be present, this rule helps catch typos and discourages unsafe or unintended script usage patterns.
 
+An exception is made for `application/ld+json`, which the HTML specification treats as an inert [data block](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#data-block): it is the standard mechanism for embedding JSON-LD structured data, and consumers such as search engines only recognize it inside a `<script>` element.
