Why no ']]>' in CharData?

Yes it is &lt; in SML.  It is not the support of &gt; that is
expensive.  It is the fact that every conforming SML processor
will have to make sure there is no ']]>' in content and issue
error if there is.  This is nonsense from SML point of view.
I would rather support full i18n over this.
