XML doesn't need CDATA, but it may be a convenience. If the reason for
avoiding to parse the data is to prevent parse errors, than what you
have isn't XML.

Using the push parser, you should be able to abort parsing once you've
collected the data you're interested in. Only learnt about it the day
before yesterday.

The same thing is possible using SAX (which the subject of your mail
refers to) at the price of throwing and catching an exception.

I hope this helps.
