The language attribute is, IIRC, deprecated in all current X?HTML.  
It's best to use uri_for() with pretty much everything. It lets you  
do your app in a number of different ways while resolving resources  
correctly. So–

<script src="[% c.uri_for("/myjavascript.js") %]" type="text/ 
javascript"></script>

I have also started to make URIs relative this way when possible/ 
allowed–

<script src="[% c.uri_for("/myjavascript.js").path %]" type="text/ 
javascript"></script>

It's best to setup your server to serve this kind of resource instead  
of your app if/when you can. Check the advent calendars and tutorial  
docs for examples of that. You'll probably want your js files in your  
static path to make this easier.
