The ">" character (TAGC) never needs to go in a CDATA Marked 
Section, as it's just character data unless there is a prior
"<". The only two characters that need CDATA Marked Sections 
are "<" and "&" because they introduce markup.

I've never investigated Custom Markup. Why not just record the
relevant keystrokes and save them in your .emacs bound to an
unused key (eg F12)?
