No -- in XML, there is no way at all.

In full SGML, you could use RCDATA instead of CDATA:

(In the DTD)
<!ENTITY MSC CDATA "]]">

(In the document instance)
<![RCDATA[
<![CDATA[this is an example of a marked section&MSC;>
]]>

I don't think this is a big problem, though, since CDATA marked
sections are simply a typing convenience.

All the best,

David
