[wp-xmlrpc] wrapping faultstring value with CDATA

[Joe Cheng]

If you do that, then there's no reason to worry about CDATA.

As a side note, I've noticed that PHP emits warnings directly to the response stream, and this even applies to XML-RPC requests which obviously results in malformed XML (as the warnings generally happen before the XML payload begins). I've seen this in a few user logs for Windows Live Writer, although I can't remember at the moment what the actual warnings were for. This isn't too much of a problem for us as usually the warnings are fatal anyway, so we're just swapping whatever the real error message is for our generic "malformed response" error. But something for you to be aware of nonetheless.

My gut response was going to be yet, but then I tried it.  Turns out the answer is no :-(

I've created a ticket for this issue: http://trac.wordpress.org/
