In general yes, but not in every particular context. Here we're talking not about the "XML promise" but the "HTML <script> promise", which is (roughly) to try and run its child content as a script. So, this is a particular application of XML, I.e. use of XML as content of a <script> element. We are trying to determine what the specification for <script> should say about processing such XML content, and whether the specification for <script> should be generalized to cover its use for data as well as for scripts (whether in XML or not). I don't think it violates the letter or the spirit of XML or "XML promises" for the specification of <script> to indicate, in the case where the root element of the XML is seen to be markup for an executable language, to run that program.
