In some of the SVGTestSuite examples (for example, animation-href-BE-02),
the text data for a SVGStyleElement is a simple Text node.  However, in
the examples given in the CR of 20001102, the text data is always wrapped
in a CDATASection.   According to section 6.7 of the SVG spec,  the style
data is required to be placed in a CDATASection.  "...Note how the CSS
style sheet is placed within a CDATA construct (i.e., <![CDATA[ ... ]]>),
which is necessary since CSS style sheets are not expressed in XML..."   
Are the SVGTestSuite examples that don't use CDATASections incorrect or am
I misreading the spec?
