No
CIM-XML is silent about CDATA sections. The interpretation is that because CDATA sections are a standard XML ability, they are also allowed in CIM-XML.
So we need to check the W3C XML spec on what it says about mixing: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/
Rule [43] in subclause 3.1 clearly shows that CDATA sections (ABNF rule CDsect) can be mixed arbitrarily with character data (ABNF rule CharData), including multiple occurrences of CDATA sections in the same XML element content. The only thing that is excluded is nesting of CDATA sections.
Bug 3510321 changed the Client to allow one CDATA.
Patch sent for community review. During a 2 week period any
exploiter may comment on the patch, request changes or turn it
down completely (with good reason). For the time being the patch is part of the "Experimental" branch in CVS.
Patch against HEAD
The community review has completed and we received no substantial criticism. Therefore the patch has been approved and merged into the "HEAD" branch. The next release will pick it up.
The patch was picked up by release 2.2.0 and will therefore be closed.
