It doesn't make any difference unless or until you have some javascript
code which includes reserved XML characters - namely "<" and "&". These
must be escaped, either individually as "<" and "&" or as a block
by making the whole script a CDATA section. This is probably the more
readable and less error-prone method.

I noticed that several books put javascript in CDATA,
but also found that javascript also worked without
CDATA.
<script language="javascript">
document.write(form.first_elem.value);
</script>
or
<script language="javascript">
<xsl:comment>
<![CDATA[
document.write(form.first_elem.value);
]]>
</xsl:comment>
</script>
Both of the above works fine.
I wonder if it is just a matter of style, or it
requires CDATA in some special cases.
Thanks.
