I'm ok with this explanation. Browsers on my machine display this case
in different ways but none of them seems to actually interpret
anything inside these unclosed elements (anything after opening tag).

It would, to my mind, be more logical NOT to create artificial end_tag
event so that the element last till EOF (all the other elements do so).
MSIE 6 seems to do so, but not Firefox & Opera -- they interpret the
lonely '<script>' as '<script></script>' -- they close it immediatly.

I do not know which way is the best. But HTML::Parser appears to
have its own -- it closes '<script>' at the next opening tag.
