The <![CDATA[...]]> construct is called a CDATA section, it's a special
XML feature that allows you to avoid escaping the & and < characters to
increase readability in some situations. It is not text, from the point
of view of most XML applications, there is no difference between, e.g.,

  <example><![CDATA[text]]></example>

and

  <example>text</example>

It is neither good practise nor generally possible to distinguish be-
tween these cases, certainly not in XML Schema. In short, what you seem
to be trying to do cannot be made to work.
