Hey man,
I just hacked this out. it's ugly but works.
function cdata(string:String):XML{
return new XML('<![CDATA[' + string + ']]>')
}
var username = "Jesse";
var lastname = "Warden";
var re:XML =
<nodes>
<node>{username}</node>
<node>{cdata(lastname)}</node>
</nodes>
Peace, Mike

How do I use CDATA with E4X?
Reading CDATA nodes is easy. Sending, however, is hampered by the
fact that I cannot use binding within CDATA nodes, and all text is URL
encoded.
So, if I do this:
username = "Jesse";
lastname = "Warden";
<nodes>
<node>{username}</node>
<node><![CDATA[{lastname}]]></node>
</nodes>
It'll look like this:
<nodes>
<node>Jesse</node>
<node><![CDATA[{lastname}]]></node>
</nodes>
If I try assembling manually, it still URL encodes it:
var request:XML = <request>
<moo>
<goo>Hello</goo>
<pan>3</pan>
</moo>
</request>;
var sup:String = "sup dog";
var s:String = "<![CDATA[";
s += sup;
s += "]]>";
request.moo.appendChild(<gai>{s}</gai>);
trace(request);
This is a problem because I'm sending a URL through E4X with URL
parameters, and it's encoding it twice; basically, my & are becoming
&.
I asked the server guy to just let me send this particular value as an
attribute so we could move on, but... no dice, my problem.

You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.
