Actually, there was no <!-- around the CDATA, so an ending wasn't
required; I was hoping indeed that tag-soup munchers would see the
]]> as the end of the <![CDATA unknown-SGML-magic "tag". Come to
think of it, though, this causes a problem in that you can't get a
'>' character into the script without it also ending the unknown-tag
on pre-script browsers. Which is a bit harsh.
I offer, then, this even more aesthetically questionable solution:
<script type="text/javascript"><!-- // --><![CDATA[ // ><!--
(scripting)
// --><!]]></script>
Which I think should work on XML parsers and tag-soup browsers,
with only the sequences "--", "</" and "]]>" taboo in the scripting.
It works on everything I've tried here, except of course Mozilla
which uses an XML parser but fails to understand CDATA marked
sections altogether. Ah well...
