It's only commented out to a reader that doesn't know the DTD declaration
for script, otherwise it is part of a CDATA field.

I'm not sure if Lynx understands this use of CDATA, but, if it doesn't,
it will need to, because of style sheets.
My view on Javascript programs masquerading as HTML is that you should
use a GUI browser on them, as one is generally fighting a losing battle
to attempt to render them in any meaningful way on a text mode browser.
Failing that, one should try to recognise those created by authoring
tools, by pattern matching the whole, rather than parsing them, and
try to reconstruct the parameters to the authoring tool. This would
mean tracking all the commonly used authoring tool templates for these
things.
