Title: Forbid usage of CDATA sections in Polyglot markup

Text: Safe usage of CDATA sections requires them to be shielded by comments
that depends on type used for <script> element and also depends on scripts
enabled. This in turn is very complex and fragile and doesn't provide very
useful value.

> Rationale: In comment #8, you bring in use cases versus what you call

> hereby reply:

Leif, I don't have so much time as you to spend on this. But what I meant was
not that CDATA syntax itself is complex, but ways how to comment it out inside
HTML <script> are.
