That was me and in the svn trunk this is true. Since I don't think I
made any changes that would make this work, it should be OK in 0.8.
An example:
$ cat /tmp/junk.kid
<html xmlns:py="http://purl.org/kid/ns#";>
<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { }
]]>
</script>
</html>
$ python -c 'import kid;print
kid.Template(file="/tmp/junk.kid").serialize(output="html")'
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
<HTML>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) { }
</SCRIPT>
</HTML>
Do you get different results?

Yes I agree. In order to win over more people we will have to
improve the documentation.
