So, it's kindof okay but if you're being pedantic, you shouldn't do it?

It doesn't, but I (and it seems a few others) think it should for both <style> 
and <script> blocks. I mean, HTML conformant source is one thing, but this does 
feel a bit cutting-off-nose-to-spite-face.

Browsers are used to dealing bith broken HTML, not that this woudl even get to 
them, so what is the concern with having TAL and METAL statements in <script> 
and <style> blocks?
