No -- in XML, there is no way at all.

In full SGML, you could use RCDATA instead of CDATA:

(In the DTD)
  <!ENTITY MSC CDATA "]]">

(In the document instance)
  <![RCDATA[
    <![CDATA[this is an example of a marked section&MSC;>
  ]]>

I don't think this is a big problem, though, since CDATA marked
sections are simply a typing convenience.


All the best,


David
