XML is designed (mostly) not to use fixed element names. If you are 
styling xhtml, xhtml:script is OK, but if you are styling docbook, or 
some personal xml vocabulary or anything else other than xhtml, then 
adding a processing instruction will maintain the validity of your 
source, but adding an xhtml:script will not.
