Well, to clarify the clarification - you need to use CDATA whenever you have contents of an element that may contain unescaped XML metacharacters: <, >, ', ", &. If you don't do this - whether you plan to display the contents or not - and your element contains a metacharacter, the XML parser will be unable to parse the file. Basically, a CDATA block tells the parser to ignore the contents.
