Consider

    <table><style></style></table>

    <table><script></script></table>

Both html5lib and the Validator.nu HTML parser both put <style> and  
<script> elements in <table> instead of foster parenting them as the spec  
says they should do. Mozilla fosterparents <style>. Safari moves <style>  
to head. Opera and IE don't move <style>. All browsers don't move <script>.

<table><style scoped> might be useful for table-specific styling.  
(Especially when someone comes up with a working CSS solution for e.g.  
column alignment.)

<table><script> is probably needed for roundtripping documents that do  
<table><script>document.write(rows)</script></table>.

Therefore, I'd suggest that the spec be changed so that style and script  
are not fosterparented when found in tables.
