No. If people think it would be useful, we could potentially add some sort of "turn CDATA section into Text" method (and/or vice versa) in Level 2. Then the DOM client could run that before accessing the data. I'm not sure how else we could determine access without losing information (I assume you don't mean that information in the CDATA sections should be invisible to the client application).
