Ehh, what? If you look at the specifications, it is stated that 'Reading Systems must not render the textual content of the script element, and should not execute the script itself.' (emphasis not mine).

So what you state is not correct. The fact that some readers (or rather reading applications) do support it, is because they used a web renderer like webkit instead of developing a ePUB renderer.
