CDATA sections are nothing but a convenient method to avoid escaping
markup characters yourself, there is no difference between e.g.

  <x><![CDATA[<>]]></x>

and

  <x>&lt;&gt;</x>

Why did you use CDATA sections instead of different namespaces? You can
parse the string yourself with facitilites your envoirement supplies not
more not less.
