It's true that a CDATA section is always in the >content of some element, but the second sentence refers to the >*immediate* character-data content of elements. If I read that sentence literally, it seems to me that it says that this is legal <element>foo bar ]]> bar foo</element> since "foo bar ]]> bar foo" most definitely constitutes "any string of characters which [sic] does not contain the start-delimiter of any markup." But that particular content string is forbidden both by the previous sentence and by the CharData production [14]. -Steve Schafer
