Sorry, I don't get it.  With the encoding I described, the parser passes
a number of CDATA sections to the application.  In the simple case (one
embedded ]]>), the application gets one section ending with "]", and
another starting with "]>".  With Bill's alternate encoding, it gets three
sections (CDATA followed by character data followed by CDATA).

There's no need to predict anything -- just put CDATA delimiters around
the whole thing, and encode embedded ]]>'s when you see them...

What am I missing?
