Hi Sarah,
What is it that you would like to do with such a computed constructor that
you can't do without it? Can you think of any scenarios where the following
two expressions could have different results?
1. <foo>{ cdata{ $a } }</foo>
2. <foo>{ $a }</foo>
For literal CDATA sections, it is useful to have direct support just so
people can cut and paste from XML into XQuery.
