In HTML script has special parsing rules "CDATA element" so that < is
not treated as starting an element with the content of <script>.
so in an html script element 


document.write("<b>UTC time:</b> "

is a sequence of chracters.

However CDATA elements do not exist in XML and so in XHTML you need to
write this as 

document.write("&lt;b>UTC time:&lt;/b> "

or include the whole script element content in a CDATA section
