Because inside a CDATA section, it's not markup.
One of the strengths of XML's implementation of the markup paradigm is its
clear distinction between markup and text. This makes parsing easier and is
a big reason for the emergence of the commodity market for tools. The down
side is that it makes it a bit tough to blur the lines when you want to.
Yet given a clear understanding and a disciplined approach, even these
problems can be dealt with.
