javascript_include_tag emits self-closing <script> tag

hello,

here is a sample rhtml:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd&quot;&gt; <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot; xml:lang="en" lang="en">   <head><%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %></head>   <body>test</body> </html>

the call to javascript_include_tag outputs self-closing <script /> tags. which is not a proper strict xhtml according to the DTD, so IE does not render the page. the page is just shown blank.

is there a way to make rails behave?

thanks konstantin
