Bugs about jsp XML syntax and CDATA ?

           Summary: Bugs about jsp XML syntax and CDATA ?
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.19
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper

Hi,

  I have a jspx file like this:

| <?xml version="1.0"?>
| <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"; 
xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page";>
|   <fo:block>&lt;fo:inline&gt;</fo:block>
|   <fo:block><![CDATA[<fo:inline>]]></fo:block>
| </fo:root>

and I try tomcat 5.0.19 & resin 3.0.6, and the output is:

| <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
| <fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";><fo:block>
| <fo:inline></fo:block><fo:block>
| ~~~~~~~~~~~
| <fo:inline></fo:block></fo:root>
| ~~~~~~~~~~~

The question is, is this the bugs of jsp engine, or the spec need to do
this type decoding? How can I get "<![CDATA[...]]>" as output?
and how to prevent engine decode "&lt;" to "<", use "&amp;"?
seems the engine make the simple things complicated? Should this
decode only happend when context in <jsp:text> element? I have post
this at tomcat user list and sun jsp forum, but get no answer, so, I
assume this is a bug.

Thanks
