This is really strange.

CDATA is not part of HTML. It's part of XML and we serve as text/html
which means it gets treated as HTML. It's just plain wrong.
Second, it breaks as soon as somewhere in a script is ']]>' lets say
for XML parsing or whatever. For the person this happens this will
mean real pain. It's not a solution, it just appears to works in some
cases.
