I can't remember exactly how I solved this within an XML/XSLT-heavy
Java-based framework, mostly to satisfy Internet Explorer if I

Something like this might work:

<script><![CDATA[]]></script>

I note that such things are mentioned here (the first search result
for "CDATA" when I tried):

P.S. I'm off to fix CDATA support in libxml2dom, but I'm sure lxml
supports CDATA. Not sure about Amara, though. ;-)
