And get

<script>//<![CDATA[
for(i = 10; i >= 0; i--) {
}
//]]></script>

Seems like a hack to me.  It does avoid the problem of -- not being
allowed inside comments, but there's already a hack you can use to avoid
that problem, which is to use a PI:

<script>//<xsl:pi name="xyzzy">
for(i = 10; i >= 0; i--) {
}
//</xsl:pi></script>

None of this is really necessary.  For HTML 4.0 you can use result-ns,
and in the future, with Voyager, the whole problem goes away.
