When you encounter

   <script language="Ada">

you are not parsing Ada code--no confusion there.

And it should be easy enough to recognize that

   </SCRIPT>

is also not Ada code.

And I don't think distinguishing

   <script language="Ada">
from
   <script language="JavaScript">

is particularly difficult.
