Bug Description:

  If the a html page include a SCRIPT tag and the content is not hidding 
  with a comment then JEditorPane will parse the content of the SCRIPT 
  tag. Because all available browsers can handle the SCRIPT tag since 
  multiple years, many user does not use the commnet tag inside the 
  SCRIPT tag. The parsing of the SCRIPT content will produce random
  exceptions.

  browser works fine with 2 attached html file, but not java.
Comments
SUGGESTED FIX '<script>' should be treated as '<!--' and '</script>' as '--!>'

EVALUATION Other than SCRIPT tags are ok.

EVALUATION We're trying to parse content of the SCRIPT tag as if it were HTML. We do not make special cases out of non-HTML tags like SCRIPT (and i'm not sure about STYLE, too).
