That isn't what it says, and isn't true to boot. There is no way at
all to put "]]>" into a CDATA section.
If you change the ">" to ">", it will not terminate the CDATA section,
true -- but because entity references aren't recognized in CDATA sections,
your application will wind up with the literal characters '&', 'g', 't', ';'.
About all you can do is terminate the CDATA section, insert the ">", and
restart the CDATA section, thus:
]]]]>><![CDATA[
where the first "]]" is inside the CDATA section, the next "]]>" terminates
it, the next ">" is outside, and the "<![CDATA[" starts the new CDATA section.
Of course the DOM will not treat this as identical, but so much the worse
for the DOM.
