Terminology issue. http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#ID-667469212 http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect ...refer to <![CDATA[ ... ]]> as a CDATA section. http://code.google.com/webstats/ refers to script and style elements as CDATA blocks. To avoid confusion I'd suggest renaming the CDATA block state to CDATA section state.
I'll go through the spec and make sure all the mentions of CDATA fall into one of the following: CDATA section (<![CDATA[ ... ]]> syntax and the tokeniser state for it) CDATA section node (CDATASection DOM Node object) CDATA state (the content model flag in the tokeniser) CDATA element (an element that triggers that state)
