The content model for the SCRIPT element type is CDATA. Inside it,
everything starting with "</" (ETAGO) and immediately followed by a
namestart character (a letter) will be recognized as the beginning of an
end tag. Since the element was never opened, this will be reported as an
error.
One workaround is to escape "/" like so "...'<\/a><\/td><\/tr>'...".
