It's needed (at least by the specs) for XML (xhtml). But TYPO3 never 
serves xhtml as xml (application/xml or application/xhtl). It sends the 
pages as text/html.

I recall that the reason for adding the CDATA tags was this mixed use of 
html and xhtml. Probably you don't need the CDATA tags in a true xhtml 
context. But alas, IE chokes on application/xhtml...
