I'm embarrassed, but what is it about <script> tags that HTMLTALParser
doesn't like?  Is there a special convention (e.g. you have to skip
until </script>, ignoring any markup in between)?  I basically learned
HTML when it was small and elegant, and I have no idea what <script>
is supposed to do.

Tell me (or give me a pointer) and I'll fix it!
