XHTML generated <script /> not understood by all browsers

[jruigrok]

As seen on the mailinglist, currently Genshi in XHTML mode renders a script element as <script />. Unfortunately not all browsers deal correctly with this.

A solution might be to render <script><!-- --></script> and as such create an explicit end element.

This seems to resolve the issue of IE7 not displaying the page, i.e. it loads the entire page, source is there, but it stays blank.

As I said on that mailing list thread, XHTML serialization does not render empty script elements as self-closing tag.
