If nothing else, if you decide to serve that as application/xhtml+xml,
you'll discover that the <script> doesn't function any more, because you've
commented it out.
If you want it to work as both text/html and application/xhtml+xml, you need
to use:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--
...
//--><!]]></script>
(see http://hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml for more detail)
Alternatively, if you don't care about ever sending it using the right MIME
type, why bother writing it as XHTML?
Regards,
Malcolm
