As we tell people quite often on this list, the purpose of putting
something in CDATA is to tell the XML parser that the "<p>" is ordinary
data, not markup. So putting markup in a CDATA section doesn't make
sense.

If someone else made this design error and you can't change it, then
disable-output-escaping gives you a way out of the mess.
