Thanks for the heads up. Looks like if you define the tag like
$script = $dom->createElement('script',''); <-- empty string
It tacks on an end tag.

So far, just playing. But ultimately I'd like to generate the whole
page using dom calls. It seems much cleaner for what I'm doing than
creating a whole bunch of large functions that do nothing more than
echo prestyled html.
