There is anther important thing that can not be put in CDATA. It is every character not available in the XML's charset. Outoside of CDATA any character can be escaped with &xxx; giving you access to the full unicode character even in an ASCII-encoded XML. But within a CDATA you are stuck with the XML character set. I think some characters like \r are also not valid inside a CDATA. CDATA is NOT a good escape method.
