/// CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that
/// would otherwise be regarded as markup. The only delimiter that is recognized
/// in a CDATA section is the "]]>" string that ends the CDATA section. CDATA
/// sections cannot be nested. Their primary purpose is for including material
/// such as XML fragments, without needing to escape all the delimiters.
///
/// The DOMString attribute of the Text node holds the text that is contained
/// by the CDATA section. Note that this may contain characters that need to
/// be escaped outside of CDATA sections and that, depending on the character
/// encoding ("charset") chosen for serialization, it may be impossible to write
/// out some characters as part of a CDATA section.
///
/// The CDATASection interface inherits from the CharacterData interface through
/// the Text interface. Adjacent CDATASection nodes are not merged by use of
/// the normalize method on the Element interface.
///
/// Note: Because no markup is recognized within a CDATASection, character numeric
/// references cannot be used as an escape mechanism when serializing. Therefore,
/// action needs to be taken when serializing a CDATASection with a character
/// encoding where some of the contained characters cannot be represented. Failure
/// to do so would not produce well-formed XML.
/// One potential solution in the serialization process is to end the CDATA
/// section before the character, output the character using a character reference
/// or entity reference, and open a new CDATA section for any further characters
/// in the text node. Note, however, that some code conversion libraries at
/// the time of writing do not return an error or exception when a character
/// is missing from the encoding, making the task of ensuring that data is not
/// corrupted on serialization more difficult.
