While such observations are indeed of some use, there is nothing wrong with not reporting such observations, so this is not a bug. >as script is not defined as an empty element; so the first tag should be >wrong. www-html-editor@w3.org would be the right list for suggestions on what should be allowed or not in HTML, XHTML, etc. you will find a reference to this list in most of the HTML, XHTML, etc. specifications. the W3C Markup Validator only cares about what they actually write into the specs.
