Think I'd prefer not to do this...

IMO use of CDATA makes the resulting code harder to read since the meta-level
boundaries become less clear, and would make only modest changes to the output
size. XML subcontent for Atom feeds also requires 100% pure correctly valid (or
at least well-formed?) XHTML output which I'm not sure how much we can
guarantee, or else the feed breaks.

Poorly written RSS consumer code is also fairly likely to get confused by
CDATA, for instance where trying to use regexes instead of a proper XML parser
to fetch desired bits of data.
