[whatwg] HTML 5 Script Tag

[Cready, James]

> No elements in text/html can be self-closing.

Except of course for the following: <area> <base> <br> <col> <command>
<embed> <hr> <input> <img> <link> <meta> <param> and <source>

And these "obsolete elements" still supported by legacy UAs: <basefont>
<bgsound> and <wbr>

<article> == <section> == <div>
<aside> == <details> == <figure>

<i> == <em>
<b> == <strong>
<span> == <mark>

<caption> == <legend> (if it was allowed inside <table>)

It already works this way. The browser ignores everything inside the
<script> tag the moment you put these three letters inside the brackets:
"src"
