CDATA is supported in SSAX.
For SXML->XML please drop a look at

SSAX is not just an XML parser, it is also functional framework which may be used
to build a specilized parser which suits your needs.
In particular, it may be used for parsing of "XML" documents which are not
well-formed at all!
You may consider Oleg's permissive parser for broken HTML as an example:

BTW: SXLink is another example of specialized parser constructed using SSAX.
