The html looks like this:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>

<xml id="ssInfo" style="DISPLAY: none" warning="DO NOT MODIFY!">
  <ssinfo>
    <querytext><![CDATA[dDocType <substring> `WebContent`  <AND>  xCollectionID
>= `9`  <AND>  xCollectionID <= `9`  <AND>  xWebsiteContentType <substring>
`Company Announcement`]]></querytext>
  </ssinfo>
</xml>
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
Test
</body>
</html>

Nothing in the XML attribute should be displayed, yet it does.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  copy the about HTML into a text file
2.  view HTML in browser
3.

Actual Results:  
`WebContent`  xCollectionID >= `9`  xCollectionID <= `9`  xWebsiteContentType 
`Company Announcement`]]>     Test

Expected Results:

I'm assuming the reason that the CDATA is displaying is 'cause there are
"<tags>"  tags in the CDATA.  Not sure what the deal is.  Seems to work in other
browsers.
Did you give the file the correct extension .xhtml or .xml?
If I name the file "testcase.xhtml" or "testcase.xml" it works, whereas I see
the problem you described if ia name it "testcase.html".
Depending on the file extension it triggers the quirks or the standards mode,
which results in different rendering.

If this doesn't work, can you try a newer nigthly?

The content does not have an extenssion in my case because it is being generated
by a service request, not a static page.  The Content-Type is text/html.

I've tried a new build but still doesn't fix the problem.

Happens in Seamonkey too.

text/html means backwards-compatible HTML.  text/xml, application/xml,
application/xhtml+xml (preferred), etc. mean XHTML.  CDATA sections should work
only in the latter.
