[Caution: possible flamebait]

If your client application is making a meaningful distinction between
"<!CDATA[[P & G]]>" and "P &amp; G", you're probably either:

1. Not using a conforming XML parser, which is bad.

or 

2. Relying on distinctions between W3C DOM CDATA Section Nodes and
TextNodes, which is officially frowned upon in the W3C DOM specs. 

In either case this would seriously affect the robustness of the code...
