XPath does not record CDATA sections they are just part of the XML
syntax lost during parsing, teh same as whetjer" or ' is used around
attribute values.

In that sample xml there is no node with both an id attribute and a
value child. if the current node is parameter then perhaps you want


 test="value = ../itable/@id">

Note that 
 <value><![CDATA[1]]></value>

is just a long way of writing

 <value>1</value>
