Re: Coordination of <script> between SVG, XSLT 1.1 and HTML 4.01

I agree with Clark that the best long-term strategy is to define a common 
<script> element that is shared across all W3C languages which allow 
embedded scripts. I'm not sure about the 'xml:' script prefix, however. It 
would seem to me that "xml:" should be reserved for things that are very 
fundamental XML features, whereas scripting is common but not fundamental. 
A W3C scripting namespace seems more appropriate to me, as in 
<w3cscriptingNS:script>. (usually, you would choose a shorter but less 
descriptive prefix.)
