Sorry? The set of valid characters inside a CDATA section is exactly the
same as outside; just the escaping rules differ. If you want to
represent control characters (other than TAB, CR, LF) inside XML, you
need to use a custom escape format (such as BASE64, quoted printable or
URI-percent encoding).
