Another noteworthy problem with the common subset about scripting is that it's really impractical to write some idioms. You can't have any instance of "<" or "&" in a script without throwing the document outside of the common subset: HTML requires them to be unencoded, XHTML requires them to be in a CDATA section or escaped as &lt; and &amp;. The CDATA solution would probably work in HTML, although it'd make the document non-conforming.

The HTML5 spec could somehow officially bless CDATA only when used like this:

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

It would not harm because it is already interoperable. But it seems somehow stupid to define that <![CDATA[ and ]]> are only allowed inside <script> after "//".
