http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xhtml-modularization-20010410 seems to
have clearer text, "If a user agent encounters an element it does not
recognize, it must continue to process the children of that element.
If the content is text, the text must be presented to the user." While
this text is not entirely clear to me, it seems that in case of e.g.
<style>
...
</style>
or
<script ...>
...
</script>
the style sheet or script "must be presented to the user". It is not
clear to me how this would result in usable results. My homepage would
be entirely unusable, for example.
