Well, they work in the sense of making the document valid
(in the technical XML sense).
But as I wrote, CDATA sections don't work on IE. If you try
<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[
document.write('hello');
]]></script>
you will get just a syntax error on IE, which does not recognize
the <![CDATA[ construct, and therefore doesn't read the
JavaScript code properly.
