Comment:
Make script be allowed in the same places as template, so that data blocks are
allowed where templates are allowed. I think people also put scripts basically
anywhere, and it works fine, so having the validator complain about it is not
so helpful.

Comment 1 Michael[tm] Smith 2013-06-28 02:26:07 UTC 
Where's the spec not allow script now but that template would be allowed?
Comment 2 Simon Pieters 2013-06-28 08:06:06 UTC 
In <ol>, in <table>, etc.
Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-07-03 17:28:17 UTC 
Turns out <colgroup> doesn't support <script> (but does support <template>). That's the only exception though, I think.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r8022.
Check-in comment: Make <script> be accepted in most places <template> is now accepted, e.g. inside <table>s. Doesn't affect parsing.
