Why special rules? In fact, the rules will become simpler. Just allow TAL
within all HTML tags with exception of the comment tags <!--...-->. Isn't
that the same aproach as TAL uses with XML?.
And why not? TAL allows to be used inside the <script....> tag itself. Isn't
this one valid too!:
    <script type="text/javascript" tal:content="self.document.title = 'Why
not?';" />
Isn't it so that the above also generates dynamic code within the CDATA
part?
So why not allow?:
    <script type="text/javascript">
        <tal:block tal:replace="self.document.title = 'Why not?';" />
    </script>
Sure, it would look insane if something like the next is used:
    <script type="text/javascript">
        <span tal:content="self.document.title = 'Why not?';" />
    </script>
but so it the next too. And that one is allowed by TAL.
    <title>
        <span tal:content="I rest my case!" />
    </title>
