Requirements

Hard Requirements

* It must be possible to have the string "</script>" in a string literal in inline JavaScript without having to use JS-level escapes. (This possibility may be limited to scripts that use the  "Hide from old browsers" pattern.)
* It must be possible to have "" in string literals in inline JavaScript without having to use JS-level escapes.
* Must not rewind and reparse with different rules.

Medium Requirements

* It should be possible to have the string  and still the trailing part of the page shouldn't get eaten up into the script or style element.
* Pages authored naively for HTML5-parsing-enabled UAs shouldn't be XSS risks in legacy UAs.
