CDATA sections are not distinct from text nodes in the XPath data 
model, so it all looks like text as far as XPath is concerned.  If you 
want access to CDATA sections separately, you'll have to go lower 
level, e.g., with SAX (http://www.saxproject.org) or with STX 
(http://stx.sourceforge.net/).
