Hunting for delimiters: '&' and '<', and (forbidden) "]]>".
Going perhaps offtopic (or perhaps broadening it to
more about historical oddities in XML):

Except that in (XML) attributes, "CDATA" is actually parsed
for entity/char references, may not have '<', and has no rules
about "]]>" ... unlike <![CDATA[...]]> sections.
What's the history behind having two different kinds of CDATA?
I've always been puzzled.
