html tags inside CDATA are ignored

Our changes.xml files contains html tags inside the <action> tag. That's the way we found to add links to our repositories in our projects. To get it to work, we used to wrap the contents of the <action> tag in a <[!CDATA[ tag.
For instance, the following <action> tag would generate a valid link in the generated report:
<action dev="cleberz"><![CDATA[Hello, <a href="www.disney.com">Disneyworld!</a>]]></action>
This worked fine till version 2.2. Version 2.3 is replacing the < and > by character references (i.e., < >) thus preventing the link from working on the report.

As a side note, if we leave out the CDATA tag, an exception is thrown by the parser, but this seems to be happening in all versions. Please fix that when possible so that we can update for the latest version. Thank you!
