Description

runScripts controls both script execution and templates (patching) in the Chromium implementation. This makes some sense, but I wonder if it will be confusing if a developer really just wants to stream patches, and the way to make it work is to use runScripts.

Research direction

Start with the runScripts section of dynamic-markup-revamped-explainer.md and review the Chromium implementation referenced in the issue. Compare the option's script-execution and template-patching roles; done means reaching and documenting a clear decision about whether they should remain coupled.
