Why split the [removed] tag when writing it with [removed]()?

Question

Why do some sites (or advertisers that give clients javascript code) employ a technique of splitting the tags

Answer 1

Here's another variation I've used when wanting to generate a script tag inline (so it executes immediately) without needing any form of escapes:

(Note: contrary to most examples on the net, I'm not setting type="text/javascript" on neither the enclosing tag, nor the generated one: there is no browser not having that as the default, and so it is redundant, but will not hurt either, if you disagree).
