Summary: Possible Bug on strings

Initial Comment:
I have detected, that the content of strings will
be produced an invalid token error, as follows:

=== Description of the element in the DTD

<!ELEMENT String (Value,Tooltip)>
<!ATTLIST String
    ID     CDATA #REQUIRED
    Length CDATA #REQUIRED
>

=== Content of an element in the document ====

<String ID = "1" Length = "12">
  <Value Origin = "< Max.##> Max."
         Custom = "< Max.##> max."
  />
  <Tooltip Origin = "**None**"
           Custom = "**None**"
  />
</String>

If Expat parsed this element, an error occurred
on detection the characters < or > in the CDATA
string.

I Think, this is not correct, because the content
of a CDATA element has not be interpreted.

I use the Version 1.95.8.

An attribute of type CDATA is not the same as a CDATA section.
Check out the attribute value syntax in the spec:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#NT-AttValue ,
<, & and ' or " are not allowed.

Closing this issue.
