  Because it's a suggestion to do that CDATA escaping in the XHTML1
W3C REC but in some case it is not needed and to avoid nasty interop
problem with IE that escaping is dropped when not needed:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8

  Because in libxml2 to use SAX you need to maintain the entity dictionnary
and provide sax->getEntity which an empty SAX handler like the one used by
xmllint SAX tester doesn't do.
