Correct. Normal XML data can not contain <?NETCONF-EOF-VERSION-1?> :-)

The CDATA section is bounded by a different special delimiter but
inside you can have <?EOM?> in its plain format. So a receiver which
just reads until it got <?EOM?> will fail. Perhaps the <?EOM?> must
also include some sort of CDATA delimiter to escape this as well.
Requires careful reading of the XML specification (or a real XML
expert who reads it for us. ;-)
