If I read that sentence literally, it seems to me that it says that
this is legal

 <element>foo bar ]]> bar foo</element>

since "foo bar ]]> bar foo" most definitely constitutes "any string of
characters which [sic] does not contain the start-delimiter of any
markup."

But that particular content string is forbidden both by the previous
sentence and by the CharData production [14].
