That's not what a CDATA attribute means in SGML or XML -- the
terminology is admittedly confusing, but for attributes CDATA means
"not a token", while for content it means "restricted delimiter
recognition". Neither XML nor SGML allows literal '&' in an attribute
value (except that SGML has bizarre delimiter-in-context rules that
allow you to use literal '&' and '<' sometimes).
All the best,
David
