For my work, the dropping of script support in the current draft has been a
major pain. If Microsoft's processor is the only one that supports
scripting, then the platform decision is clear. I don't care whether the tag
is called <ms:eval> or <xsl:eval>; the functionality is needed for a great
many applications and if the standard doesn't provide it, then proprietary
extensions must.
