Sorry, but that is not true!
CDATA sections can only have normal (roughly: printable) characters (Char 
in the XML specification). Cf. section 2.7 of the XML specifiation for the 
definition of CDATA sections and 2.2 for the defintion of Char.
So it excludes all control characters except CR, LF and TAB. However for 
true binary, you need all these control characters!
Therefore you have to encode binary data (for example in mime base64.)

Reference:
XML Specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml (latest version)

Not wanting to state the obvious, but the XML specification clearly says 
that
CDATA (or whatever that is spelt) can contain anything you feel like.

Just like postscript encodes picture files in ASCII for embedding... Or
e-mail 'embeds' PGP keys within itself.
