I.e. change the way <script> and <style> are parsed in the SVG and MathML contexts to be the same way they are parsed outside of it.

valid mathml won't have script or style anyway, so I can see no possibility of objections to this from the mathml side. Speaking personally (not checked with the Math WG). I agree with the original comment that even if script/style were valid mathml they should be parsed as per html rather than as xml CDATA. Other aspects of the parse, notably omitted end tags follow html rules, so it isn't the case that you can simply cut and paste between the xml and html serialisations in any case.
Comment 2 Jonas Sicking (Not reading bugmail) 2011-11-11 10:48:57 UTC 
Note that we can't simply use the current rules that HTML uses. We'll need to add some support for content surrounded by <![CDATA[ ... ]]>
