           Summary: XHTML: validator doesn’t check that Raw Text elements
                    (style/script) match the constraints

For *escapable* Raw text elements (textarea/title), the validator does a *good*
job. 

Example:

     <textarea><foo/></textarea>

The validator blesses the above as valid, if it occurs in an HTML document,
whereas if it occurs inside XHTML, it stamps it as invalid. This is how it
should be!

However, for <script> and <style>, the story is different: Irrespective of HTML
or XHTML, the validator will use the the rules of HTML parsing and stamp the
following as valid:

   <script><FOO/></script>

Per the XML parser, the above <FOO> is an element. Thus: not text. Whereas the
content model of <script> and <style> is (some flavour of) text. Hence, the
above ought to be stampd as invalid, measured as XHTML against the HTML5
specification.
