I don't think you will see them. CDATA is really just a way to encapsulate text.

That's written in the docs.

That's also written in the docs. Remember that by including modules
multiple inheritance is at work. Granted that RI isn't as good as
pointing out all the methods as JavaDoc but then again these can
change at runtime anyway.  It usually helps to look at things in IRB
or #inspect them.

IMHO not needed.

Have you been on the REXML homepage? There's pretty good docs and
tutorials there
