Please make the EJS construtor accept element's of type "script"

[Google Code Exporter]

It would be really nice if the constructor could not only check for "value" or 
"innerHTML" but also "text" to get the value form <script>-elements.
Then it would be possible to embed ejs script on a page without "abusing" the 
usage of textarea just to be able to type '< characters. I.e. it would be 
possible to do:
<script type="text/ejs">
<li>
    <a href='supplies/<%= supplies[i] %>'>
        <%= supplies[i] %>
    </a>
</li>
</script>

I have tested this approach on pretty much all browsers and it works like a 
charm, other libraries use it as well, such as dojo for their templating.

...i just locally patched this code and when I did it seemed like the code 
ignored the "type" option when an "element" option was provided, so that could 
be worth paying attention if you'll decide to implement this feature.
