I have a locally modified jdk and test that I used to test the behavior of script tags. My test was based off of HtmlCommentTagParseTest, but now I see other tests that use script tags. I'll look into making a more comprehensive test, but the other tests I found actually use script tags. So script tags seem to be supported in some way.
  
  From what I gathered from my tests, parseContents() runs parseScript() first, then parseTag() as both of you mentioned. I'll look into the strict approach for script tags. This strict vs !strict may be what the JBS issue is actually referring to.
  
  parseScript() seems to read the contents one char at a time, but there seems to be no attempt to differentiate script contents from any other type of text. All chars, within script tags or not, uses readCh() on each char. So it makes sense that the contents are handled as any other text. The parseScript method seems to be used to differentiate comments within script tags from non-comment text.
  
   handleComment() is also run on the script tag contents, and this seems to be used for debugging mostly by DocumentParser and HTMLEditorKit.
