Absolutely right. A CDATA section cannot have the "]]>" string as its
contents according to XML 1.0. However, DOM does not not model XML
1.0. What it actually models is 90% XML, 10% meat by-product. This is
one of the by-product parts. :-)
With DOM you can create a CDATASection object whose contents include
the string "]]>". This cannot be written as XML, but a DOM
CDATASection object is not XML. XML is text, not an object. What this
property is describing is how you handle this non-XML piece in DOM
when you convert the DOM object to genuine XML.
