• Attribute nodes can have the following child node types: Text and EntityReference. The Attribute
node does not appear as the child node of any other node type. It is not considered a child node of an
Element.
• CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text that would otherwise be recognized as markup. A
CDATA node cannot have any child nodes. It can appear as the child of the DocumentFragment,
EntityReference, and Element nodes.
