[thelist] HTML Formatting/HTML Compliance (Script Tag)

True, but, it isn't always possible and, besides, the same rule applies to 
<style> tags (minus the // comment on the next to the last line).  And 
sometimes you *have* to use <style> tags instead of importing the 
stylesheet using the <link> tag (i.e., you want to use @import "whatever.css").

So, you could use the same trick this way:

<style type="text/css">
<!-- <![CDATA[
   @import "whatever.css";
]]> -->
</style>
