It's not clear what you meant by "it" here.  On first reading, I matched 
it with the HTML 4 specification.  In case that is what you did mean:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/scripts.html#h-18.2.4>

   HTML documents are constrained to conform to the HTML DTD both
   before and after processing any SCRIPT elements.

I can't, at the moment, find an equivalent restriction in HTML 5.
