You will need to preprocess the content, I think.

There is no such thing as a nested CDATA section (just like there is
no such thing as a nested comment).  The first ]]> ends the currently
open CDATA section, period.  It looks like the generating software

space; the nested sections end in ]] >

You could handle this in XSLT, but I think thatbs doing it the hard way.
