Because inside a CDATA section, it's not markup.

One of the strengths of XML's implementation of the markup paradigm is its 
clear distinction between markup and text. This makes parsing easier and is 
a big reason for the emergence of the commodity market for tools. The down 
side is that it makes it a bit tough to blur the lines when you want to. 
Yet given a clear understanding and a disciplined approach, even these 
problems can be dealt with.

Cheers,
Wendell
