That's #PCDATA. The fact that this user has chosen to use a <![CDATA[]]> 
section rather than escaping individual characters -- neither of which 
is necessary in this example! -- is strictly a syntactic detail, not 
semantic, and as far as XML is concerned the two approaches are 
completely equivalent. Most XML applications don't even attempt to 
distinguish the two.

Declare the element as having text content. Then, if the instance 
document's text contains characters XML has trouble with, do something 
appropriate.
