live templates in xhtml

when I insert something from a live template in a xhtml (jsf) file the text is surrounded by cdata tag like this:

Live Template:
<h:outputText value="#{$END$}"/>
is rendered as:
<![CDATA[

               <h:outputText value="#{}"/>
                    ]]>

is this a bug or a feature?:^O

also, the live template has to be in context jsp to occurr at all, which I find a bit annoying...
