Why? It will make no difference to the program reading your document whether it's a character or a character reference. Anyhow, you could set the xsl:output to use encoding "ASCII" (provided your XSLT engine recognizes that encoding) to force non-ASCII characters to be output as character entities.

If you serve you XHTML documents as application/xhtml+xml, Mozilla's probably happy with <script/>.

Not a better one, but you can also use e.g.
<script type="text/javascript" src="foo.js">//</script>
or
<script type="text/javascript" src="foo.js">
<xsl:comment />
</script>

Well, different XSLT engines might handle it differently, but you could try declare the XHTML namespace in the xsl:stylesheet instead of the Literal Result Elements, and then not copy/generate the namespace nodes.
