What's the difference between:

and
<atom:title type='XHTML'>I   do not like 
<![CDATA[<]]>marquee&gt;</atom:title>
?

Shouldn't both render as "I do not like <marquee>"?
Yeah, but if you wanted to have 'not' in bold:
<title type='TEXT'>I do not like &lt;marquee></title> (can't do it)
<title type='HTML'>I do &lt;b>not&lt;/b> like &amp;lt;marquee></title>
<title type='XHTML'>I do <b>not</b> like &lt;marquee></title>
(Hey, an example like that might be helpful in the spec.)
FWIW, with the exception of content, I think allowing only %inline 
XHTML elements would make more sense than allowing %flow.
Anyone else pro or con on this one? -Tim
