To give my simple answer, I think CDATA construct is a valid XML
construct, but not in this context, as I explain below. The CDATA
construct is not a 'tag' it's a literal string of special (protected)
text, protected inside the 'section' (the CDATA 'section'). This is more
of an XML thing, as correctly alluded to by MK -- not so much an XSLT
thing. The CDATA is used to "block escape" a literal text string -- if
replacing illegal chars, ("<" and "&") with entity references would
cause more problems.

In your example schema, showing the XML schema, the wildcard: "##any"
lets the processor put in any namespace, when the additional: "
processContents="lax" " is used. It may be necessary but still not
'sufficient' to be 100% correct, hence the problems. To explain this to
some other inquisitive person, I'd suggest that perhaps the use of a
CDATA section is not acceptable as a namespace, presumably because there
is no well-defined namespace for CDATA, in the schema, thus the
problems.

This may be from off-point, but I've used
The CDATA stuff inside XSLT as an 'in-line' to javscript, as shown
below. This works inside XSLT:

<script implements-prefix="PDQ">
<xsl:comment>
<![CDATA[
var message="SOME DATA STR"
function redo(){
window.location.reload()
}
]]>
</xsl:comment>
</script>

Best wishes,
Jim

Your question doesn't seem to relate to XSLT.

But I think the answer (assuming that the complextype detail is the type
of
the detail element) is that hte schema does not allow text content and
therefore does not allow a CDATA section, since a CDATA section is just
another way of writing text content.
