I guess I thought - the page would load into the browser, then the HTML
parsed into a data structure (DOM) and then the script run (things like
document.write executed) and finally the page rendered/displayed.
but it makes sense that it just ploughs straight into it as it comes...
it's not a problem in the slightest, I am just surprised I didn't know
about it until now.
