[MarkLogic Dev General] Preserving CDATA in Mark Logic

[Eric Palmitesta]

If one were to go the xdmp:quote route, would they need to remember to 
unquote when pulling the data out?

While working with xquery and marklogic for the last month, I actually 
haven't seen any CDATA regions at all, I'm assuming ML is doing some 
automatic management here?
