[XHTML 2] 18.1.1 Rules for processing handlers

Dear HTML Working Group,

Please define what "inline text" means in the context of  18.1.1.3, is it 
the text content of the handler element, is it an XML literal of the 
contents?  is it ... well what is it?

For example, what happens with the document fragment below in the case when 
the javascript with e4X support is supported, and it's not?
<handler type="application/x-javascript;e4x"> var t=<handler 
type="text/javascript">alert(1)</handler>;alert(t.firstChild.nodeValue);</handler>

Regards,

Jim Ley
