I didn't pose my question very well, but from your answer maybe Text 
should extend CDATA rather than vice versa.  AIUI though, CDATA and 
general character data are two different things in XML and should 
(ideally) be represented that way.  However, no point changing it now.

What do you think of my suggested patches?
