No, the correct response of the parser would be to produce a script
element with the data "print('<p></p>')".
The browser should then pass this to a script engine that matches the
MIME type text/jim if available.
Assuming that print in text/jim is bound to the write method of the
document object then it is the job of the script engine to replace
the script element with a p element.
This is easily enough compatible with the DOM, as it can be viewed as
operations on the script element that replace it with a p element.
Global methods and variables in the script should be retained by the
engine, in case it is called by the browser again on encountering
another <script> or in response to an event.
The rendering engine should then render the updated document with the
new <p/>.
