Re: Cougar DTD: Do not use CDATA declared content for SCRIPT (fwd)

Once upon a time Walter Ian Kaye shaped the electrons to say...

I'm the opposite way, I pefer having them both in the same file where I
can code the script and the calling functions.  I have no problem dealing
with the 2 in one document.

I'l likely to inline many of them, same reason.

So do I - emacs is my #1 tool.  We just have different mental styles when
it comes to writing, I find it infinitely more annoying to have to deal with
multiple files.

Clutter doesn't bug me in the least, I can look at a document that is one
long line (no returns) code and all, and see what it is doing.  I'm one of
those annoying people who tends to write long blocks of uncommented C code.
