Or <style> possibly. That says why you _could_, not why you might want to. On the other hand, HTML is a world in which people encode data in the pixel values of PNG images, display them on an off-screen canvas and fetch the values, which they can then interpret as JavaScript. So maybe there's not much point in talking about semantics of elements. Thank you for replying.
