RE: Problems with CDATA
> The first problem was that it
was not keeping any of the CDATA sections around any elements - it was simply
removing them and just copying the text inside the sections.
That's correct behaviour. CDATA is considered to be just an
input convenience, to save you using lots of entity and character references for
special characters. If there aren't any special characters, then the CDATA
brackets are just noise.
I then added
cdata-section-elements="UNIQUEJVID" and cdata-section-elements="TITLE" (in a new
line) to the xsl:output section of the xsl. This returned the CDATA section
around these element but incorrectly - as in below:
This looks like a quirk of the XSLT processor you are
using, you should report it on the support channel for that processor (or at the
very least, tell us which processor you are using.)

It's adding whitespace to some, adding 2 CDATA sections to others, and
also splitting the text value and adding CDATA around each piece!! Does anyone
know why this might be?? (See my xml and xsl below).
