/**

 * XML provides the CDATA markup to allow a region of text in which

 * most of the XML delimiter recognition does not take place. This is

 * intended to ease the task of quoting XML fragments and other

 * programmatic information in a document's text without needing to

 * escape these special characters. It's primarily a convenience feature

 * for those who are hand-editing XML.

 * <P>

 * CDATASection is an Extended DOM feature, and is not used in HTML

 * contexts.

 * <P>

 * Within the DOM, CDATASections are treated essentially as Text

 * blocks. Their distinct type is retained in order to allow us to

 * properly recreate the XML syntax when we write them out.

 * <P>

 * Reminder: CDATA IS NOT A COMPLETELY GENERAL SOLUTION; it can't

 * quote its own end-of-block marking. If you need to write out a

 * CDATA that contains the ]]> sequence, it's your responsibility to

 * split that string over two successive CDATAs at that time.

 * <P>

 * CDATA does not participate in Element.normalize() processing.
