That CDATA declaration is for real X(HT)ML parsers only.  An HTML parser 
would ignore it since the content model of the HTML SCRIPT element is CDATA 
already (hence the single-line comments for the script engine); it would 
look for `</' instead (which is why you should escape ETAGO delimiters – </ 
– regardless in XHTML `script' elements).  A tagsoup parser would not care 
at all, it would probably look for `</script>' only (which is also why you 
get used to escaping unwanted ETAGOs there).
