Build ID: 20150630154324
Steps to reproduce:
In the console i tried the following:
```
var div = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml','xhtml:div')
div.innerHTML = '<![CDATA[foobar]]>'
div.childNodes // NodeList[Comment { data="[CDATA[foo]]", length=12, nodeType=8, more...}]
```
Actual results:
div.childNodes lists a comment with contents "[CDATA[foo]]", which is wrong.
Expected results:
It should have created a text node with contents "foobar"

(I pasted the wrong result, it should be `NodeList[Comment { data="[CDATA[foobar]]", length=12, nodeType=8, more...}]`, of course.
