CDATA section, code conversion, and the infomation set WD

I think that there is a small conflict between XML Information Set 
and the review of XML 1.0 from the I18N WG.

"Internationalization Review of XML" 
http://www.w3.org/International/Group/1998/12/NOTE-i18n-rev-xml-19981221#CDATA

	The data model to be developed for XML should make it explicit that CDATA 
	marked sections are syntactic devices that have no
	effect on the data model or intended structure of an XML document. 

However, the Info Set WD says:

>A character information item may also have the following properties 
>available in some form:
...
>3.An indication of whether the character was included literally, as a 
>character reference, as part of a CDATA section, or through one of the 
>predefined XML entities. 

I would propose to drop this para, since it hampers code conversion.

Cheers,
