I think this covers it:

"Although the STYLE and SCRIPT elements use CDATA for their data model, 
for these elements, CDATA must be handled differently by user agents. 
Markup and entities must be treated as raw text and passed to the 
application as is."

"Markup" includes comments and processing instructions as well as tags. 
Admittedly, it could be more explicit, but that's consistent with CDATA 
sections in XML, and also consistent with web browser behaviour.

Best regards,

Michael
