The HTML 4.01 spec does indeed provide for putting SGML comments inside a
<script> element, and gives examples on how to do so for JavaScript,
VBScript, and TCL.

The XHTML 1.0 spec doesn't seem to comment on this, except to say that "&"
and "<" characters must be escaped, or enclosed in a CDATA section.

I'm thinking that this is one potential area where XHTML might break older
browsers, unless all script is included in external files.
