It might happen that the receiver needs the information that some data was a CDATA section (we do not know what type of applications will use XML Encryption and how they deal with the XML documents).
If that's the case, then somebody is making a mistake. You should *never* depend in any way on the information that the content was in a CDATA section as opposed to using character or entity references. See http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/effectivexml/chapters/15.html for deeper discussion of this issue.
