+ |                              DESCRIPTION                                   |
+ When the output method is declared as "html", the content of <script> elements 
+ should not be escaped (according to Section 16.2 of the XSLT 1.0 spec.)
+ But in certain cirumstances the characters < and & are escaped to &lt; and &amp;
+ 
+ This version of an XSLT template is working correctly:
+   <script> if (a &lt; b) foo() </script>
+ and the ouput is:
+   <script> if (a < b) foo() </script>
+   
+ 
+ But if you use the 'if statement' within another tag the &lt; is still escaped:
+ <script> <myNode> if (a &lt; b) foo()> </myNode> </script>  
+ 
+ ===> produce following output and not the same like in the example above:
+ <script> <myNode> if (a &lt; b) foo() </myNode> </script>
+ 
+ 
+ I tested this with Xalan version xalan-j_2_0_1 and with xalan-j_2_2_D10. Both 
+ show the decribed behavoir. I tested it with other XSLT parser (SAXON, MSXSLT, 
+ EXCELON) and it works like expected.   
+ of others XSLT processors and it is working (except XT).
