A:
A CDATA tag is merely a means of escaping data as a text node. Therefore you cannot stipulate that you require a CDATA node.
From a DOM perspective, the following documents are identical:
<doc>value</doc>
and
<doc><![CDATA[value]]></doc>

I think type="string" is about as close as you can get.

You might consider defining your own type using a regex pattern, but I don't think that would work as the XSD processing doesn't "see" the CDATA part actually apply the pattern (not definite though).

is about as close as you can get.
(I thought it best to move the answer out of the comments and into an actual answer).
