<p:theme/> mangles HTML assets defined in portal-themes.xml

          Components: Portal Theme
    Affects Versions: 2.6.DR1, 2.4 Final
         Environment: Mac OS X 10.4.8, JBoss Portal + JBoss AS (2.4)

HTML assets defined in portal-themes.xml are being mangled when output from <p:theme/> tag in layout.

My empty script tags with src attributes are being converted to self closing script tags. This is invalid, and causes some use agents (IE currently, and soon to be WebKit and Gecko) to think that everything after the script tag is JavaScript source code, so the whole page ends up being rendered as a blank page. To get around this, I am basically bypassing the use of themes and just hard coding my links into the layout, which defeats the purpose of decoupling the two.

Other annoying issues:

• Double quotes being changed to single quotes.
• Extraneous spaces between attributes. (Look between script and src)
• Missing attributes (charset is missing)

For example, in portal-themes.xml I have this HTML asset in my theme...

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="/themes/mytheme/scripts/lib/overlib.js"></script>

The output in the layout looks like this...

<script  src='/portal-core/themes/mytheme/scripts/lib/overlib.js' type='text/javascript' />
