I consider removing 'script', 'noscript' and 'style' a non-starter. We don't set out to make XHTML 2.0 hard to use from a Purity Of Essence line of argument (an earlier thread claiming the opposite notwithstanding). In XHTML 2.0 alternate content to scripts is done with nesting, 'object' style. This would have made 'noscript' somewhat redundant if inline scripts hadn't been allowed and backwards compatibility had been no issue. But inline scripts are very practical, and, at least in my opinion, a sensible migration strategy from XHTML 1.0/1.1 is paramount. Forcing people to rip out inline scripts and style sheets is not such a strategy. -- Jonny Axelsson, Web Standards, Opera software
