Currently in eml definition, the InlineType, which is the data type of element
inline, is PCDATA.  This means xml parser will parse it. This causes some
problems. For example, SAX parse in Metacat will change "<", if it is in
element inline,  to "<" during the parsing.  This change will make the document
invalid. If we change InlineType to CDATA, SAX parser will skip the content in
element inline, the problem will be gone.
