Not really. there are some browsers that are a bit dumb when it comes to
decoding <script> blocks, they simply scan ahead looking for a matching
</script> string ... which if it is inside a document.write means a
premature closure and all sorts of buggy behaviour. You don't actually want
buggy behaviour, do you?
