May not have been needed here. I've seen this approach with data exported as xml from a wiki before. The catalog section can hide a whole bunch of xml violations, but the document is technically valid because the catalog section is well formed.

I am processing a bunch of XHTML documents. Some XHTML documents contain things like this:
<style>
<![CDATA[
<!--
@font-face
{font-family:"Cambria Math";
panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;}
-->
]]>
</style>
So, the content of the <style> element is this:
<!--
@font-face
{font-family:"Cambria Math";
panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;}
-->
That looks like a comment, but it's not a comment, it's just a string. Right?
Question: Why would someone would do this? Is there a benefit to embedding a fake comment inside an element?
/Roger
