That's because you create a CDATA section. CDATA is specifed in XML to allow 
arbitrary, unescaped data, so that is what XMLC puts in there.

HTML doesn't specify a CDATA section, but XMLC uses CDATA nodes in the DOM to 
achieve the same effect: Insert arbitrary strings into the DOM that are not 
changed by XMLC. This hack is sometimes useful to insert pre-existing HTML 
into an XMLC document, but is not recommended for general use.

If you want XMLC to escape entities for you, use text nodes instead of CDATA 
sections.

Hope this helps,
