Matt,

I think most of your problem is caused by viewing CDATA as a kind of markup 
tag. It's not. Your problem is easily solved by inventing some real XML tag 
to wrap around your 'encoded' data, e.g.

<html>  {HTML-encoded-as-CDATA-or-whatever} </html>

Then you won't care how the html is handled but you can still extract all 
of the precisely because it's marked up by 'real' tags.
