Comment(by hakre):

 I do not get your point. CDATA is perfectly valid for XML therefore
 anything built on it should not have any problems with it. It's just a way
 to express that there is ''character data''. Please read this first:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDATA to understand what a cdata section
 means for SGML and XML documents, eg. RSS and ATOM. What should and what
 not is pretty much already defined so please stick to the specs, I see no
 use in inventing new specs only for this bugreport.
