Empty <script> bug (XHTML documents) from Beton, Richard on 2003-11-03 (www-validator@w3.org from November 2003)

I have noticed that XHTML documents are passed as valid even when they 
contain empty <script> elements. For example,

  <script src="js/whatever.js"/>

is not considered to infringe the DTD, which specifies that <script> 
contains PCDATA.

Is this a bug in the W3C Validator?
