Up to and including HTML 4, <script> is declared as CDATA (rather
than PCDATA), so more or less that's what should happen. You would have
to check the SGML standard to find the exact conditions of ending the
element. I'm quite sure that a single '<' isn't enough.
For XHTML, you have to use a CDATA marked section, or have to use
character escapes such as <. No way around that if you want it
to be XML.
