Hmmm ... this doesn't work for me. I added *exactly* what you have above
to my .emacs and I get the following error:

        An error has occurred while loading `/home/darren/.emacs.el':
        
        Symbol's value as variable is void: sgml-custom-markup
        
        To ensure normal operation, you should investigate the cause
        of the error in your initialization file and remove it.  Start
        Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error
        backtrace

Starting emacs from a terminal with emacs --debug-init I get this:

        Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable sgml-custom-markup)
          add-to-list(sgml-custom-markup ("CDATA section" "<![CDATA[]]>"))
          eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "~/.emacs" nil t)
          load-with-code-conversion("/home/darren/.emacs.el" "~/.emacs" t t)
          load("~/.emacs" t t)
          #[nil <unpasteable gibberish>
          command-line()
          normal-top-level()

I have *no* idea what that means ...
