Tom Otvos scripsit:

> Why can an element's mixed content only be declared as PCDATA, not CDATA?

Primarily, IMHO, because non-valididating parsers don't need to understand
content models.  Such parsers can assume that what looks like markup *is*
markup, except specifically within the brackets "<![CDATA[" and "]]>".
