We have several pages that utilize these tags so I'm gonna give your suggestion a go. Microsoft hasn't really defined in detail what exactly the support is for these tags in IE 5.0. It does appear however, that the w3.org has implimented these tags for a very similar need in xsl. I wonder why they would not simply name <xsl:functions> as <xsl:script> unless they are significantly different. This question also holds merit when you consider that MS has people on the WD group. I will try some experiments and see if anything interesting comes out. I will be away for a few days (my wife called it a "weekend" or something) but this will be done by Monday.
