[New-bugs-announce] [issue15423] Minidom tries to parse tags inside of <script> tag

[AliDD]

New submission from AliDD <registration000 at web.de>:

Attempt to parse the string
<script type="text/javascript">document.write('<bb></b>');</script>
by calling minidom.parseString()
causes ExpatError: mismatched tag: line 1, column 53
in lib\xml\dom\expatbuilder.py at line 223.

It looks like the parser detects open / closing tag mismatch, trying to parse <bb></b>.
