https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/dom.html#kinds-of-content

Each element in HTML falls into zero or more categories that group elements with similar characteristics together. The following broad categories are used in this specification:​

Metadata content
Flow content
Sectioning content
Heading content
Phrasing content
Embedded content
Interactive content

This list should also contain the links to the respective sections for "Palpable Content" and "Script-supporting elements"

I somewhat suspect "palpable content" was intentionally omitted as it's a sub category of flow/phrasing, but script-supporting elements might be a newer invention that should have been listed. Although it's not exactly a broad category so perhaps it's fine as-is.

Yeah

And the list is prefaced with a statement explicitly limiting the listed categories to just the “broad categories” — as opposed to all the possible categories. And so given that “palpable content” just means “non-empty or non-hidden”, it’s not a broad category.

but script-supporting elements might be a newer invention that should have been listed. Although it's not exactly a broad category so perhaps it's fine as-is.

Yeah, given that “script-supporting elements” just means “script and template”, it’s also not a broad category.
