Are HTML script elements allowed to be external even when in the body?
In HTML, are <script> elements allowed to be external and use <script src="myscript.js"> even when in the <body> of the document?

Yes. This is how a lot of widgets work like Google Maps. Make sure you specify the type though:
<script type="text/javascript" src="action.js"></script>
