This is not supported. Encoding processing, line-feed normalization and invalid character rejection 
happens before attempting to detect any markup. This is necessary to support encodings like 
ISO-2022-jp, which uses ESC sequences to switch between meaning of subsequent chars.

CDATA is, in fact, even more restricted than text content. Outside of CDATA, a character
unrepresentable in target encoding can be ampersand-escaped. Within CDATA this cannot be done.
CDATA is intended only to handle '<' and '&' as plaintext, nothing more.
