Well, taking this use case, the current behaviour is confusing.

I'm a designer, I get this template I know I'm allowed to tweak but I have no 
idea what this tal: stuff is. I do however, know a bit of javascript.
So, I happily tweak the <script> stuff ignoring the funny tal: bit until it does 
what I want. I hand over the template to the scripter who does his thing and 
hands off to the customer. I'm then confused as to why the customer is unhappy 
until I find out that none of my javascript is working. I wonder what to do next.

So, if this use case is broken anyway, could we at least make it useful to the 
coders and scripters of this world and allow tal: inside <script> and <style> 
tags? ;-)

cheers,
