It's not simple base64 encoded. It uses the same set of characters
and the order in indeterminate. I checked it with a program off the
net and mine which gave the same garbage results.

As others have said it is in Base64.

What does it represent in the xml file? Normally I would expect
Base64 in xml to be armouring some binary data. There is no point in
armouring text.

I doubt it, don't be fooled by the "//" in there, the Base64 of "//"
does not look like "//".

I decoded the first character. It has a value of 000111.
Please let me know if that is meaningful to you.

Not really. If you don't know the content of the embedded text, then
you must encode or escape it somehow, since it may contain the string
"]]>". XML CDATA is too stupid and (unlike many other formats
including JSON) provides no way for embedding an arbitrary character
string,
