>>>  Thus i suggesst we reintroduce the patch and live with the fact
>>>that we need to write echo "<"."/script>" instead of echo "</script>".

If that was said some 5 years ago, it would be somewhat reasonable (though
I would probably have some doubts even then, but it would be at least
arguable). But now when I see this patch breaks live site in a way that
takes me half an hour just to find it out - and that's while I KNOW about
the patch and it's effects and can figure out what the hell is going on - 
try to imagine what would the average developer say. One that does not 
follow each patch on internals list. He would just refuse to upgrade to 
this version on grounds that "it breaks my site that worked before" and 
he'll be right. So what's the use in a "fix" that nobody would use - just 
to show how purist we are? Or do you imagine all the users would suddently 
See The Light (TM) and go and rewrite all their scripts? It won't happen. 
Nobody would rewrite working code just because someone thinks it's not 
nice for some obscured XML-purity reasons.
