This is rather interesting, because in XHTML <script> has become a PCDATA element. aha, I didn't realize of that. Note however that this means that if you go Yes, I always use that "hack" to make it valid for different systems (meant: used to, now I include all my js, saving a lot of trouble), but I hardly ever saw such a clear and precise and concise explanation, I'd like to use it for my new js/html students ;) if I may. Also, it helps when testing locally (an HTML file is served as text/html because of the content type on your system) and testing remotely (an HTML file is served as application/xhtml+xml or some other variant, or even with agent sniffing serving different types to different agents). Hmm, this brings me to the following oddity, something I honestly didn't get before: if you serve you document as text/html, the spec recommends (informatively again) that the DOM should be represented as an HTML DOM, which shows tagnames as uppercase. Serving it as any of the XML content types, shows the DOM as and XML DOM and/or HTML DOM, the former serving the tagnames as they are, in lowercase: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_11 Are we, as mere mortals, supposed to make some eatable soup of all this? I consider upgrading myself to Jungle 2.0, where all I have to worry about is poisonous or non-poisonous vegetables to put in my soup and there are only three worries left: eat, multiply and die.
