Alain,

I think adding the proposed CDATA encapsulations to script elements would
be a great solution.

Regarding @cdata-section-elements, I do need this functionality, in some
form, for the application I'm working on. But my first preference would be
to output the CDATA sections on the server using XQuery. Unfortunately,
eXist does not currently support cdata-section-elements as a serialization
parameter either, so I was considering the @cdata-section-elements
submission attribute as a temporary workaround. I do think this would be a
good feature to have, but for now, just adding the CDATA encapsulations
would make a big difference.

Thanks again!
Tim
