[plt-scheme] literal html data in servlets

There is a way. Sorry for being away on vaca.

(make-cdata (make-location 0 0 0) (make-location 0 0 0) "the-string")

In an xexpr will insert "the-string" literally.

I think this could be made less verbose, like (cdata "the-string"),
but that's not what it is now.
