the \\<![CDATA markup doesn't generate a cdata section if used in an html
script element (as < doesn't start markup in that context) so that usage
doesn't contradict the fact that html doesn't allow cdata sections except in
foreign content.
Like using linebreaks in svg attributes, this usage will cause difference
between an htnl and xml DOM, but the difference is largely cosmetic, the
difference just being whether the first line of the script that contains a
jacascript comment has an empty comment (XML) or a comment with the characters
<!CDATA (from html parsing).
