        Simple. Since "]]>" is used to mark the end of a CDATA section, and
since CDATA can contain anything, if you want to put the sequence "]]>"
INSIDE your CDATA, then you must escape the ">", or else it will END your
CDATA.

        In other words, CDATA can contain anything except literal "]]>".

        Think "*/" and C/C++...

        HTH,
