Yes. It can represent exactly the same set of characters allowed in
non-CDATA content, just the escaping rules are different. Or to reprase
it differenty: no matter which kind of character representation you
choose (different encodings, entity references, CDATA, whatever), the
set of legal characters in XML never changes.

Of course, until you start looking at XML 1.1.

You're not the first one :-) Once you've absorbed this, start teaching
to those you still think that CDATA is a catch-all for those things XML
doesn't allow otherwise.
