This document:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
      <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en"
xml:lang="en">
        <head>

          <title>Title</title>
<script type="text/javascript">alert("hey");</script>
        </head>

        <body>
         <p> thing</p>
        </body>

      </html>

Validates here:

http://validator.w3.org/

and so does this one:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
      <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en"
xml:lang="en">
        <head>

          <title>Title</title>
<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[alert("hey");]]>
</script>
        </head>

        <body>
         <p> thing</p>
        </body>

      </html>





It looks like you could in fact omit the cdata tags.  As I understand,
cdata tags are syntactic sugar that get you around having to escape all
less than and greater than signs to entities, but from a validation
perspective (or document tree model perspective) are transparent.
