I think this issue has nothing to do with CDATA.  What you are really
saying is that you want to extract a text node, and then parse that text
node as XML (and then that XML may even have text nodes which you then
wish to process as XML).

If you know how to spin up your parser of choice using a file as source,
you *must* know how to spin up a parser over a text node?
