RE: Need to wrap XML in <![CDATA[...]]> tags

I have a similar requirement and I thought you could do it 
with cdata-section-elements.

I want to make the following whole CONTENT section be 
enclosed in a CDATA section but the cdata-section-elements 
doesn't seem to do it. Is there something else I should use 
to make a whole tree CDATA?

You need to understand that the only thing you can have in CDATA is
text. CDATA is saying "the angle brackets in here might look like
markup, but they are actually ordinary characters". So having XML markup
inside a CDATA section is a contradiction in terms, and is always going
to give you problems.
