I seem to be in the minority, but I think using CDATA-sections is
entirely reasonable when inserting large amounts of textual material
in an XML document.  Note I said 'textual material' -- this _does_
often contain ampersands, but close-enought-to-never contains the
catastrophic ]]>.  The same observation does _not_, of course, apply
to large amounts of binary data.
