Wouldn't, and rightly so. The fact that there's a CDATA in the input just
protects the characters when being parsed. There's no way in XSL to ask for
a CDATA section in the output. Actually, an <xsl:cdata> tag would be the
closest possible to the <xsl:not-xml> tag I'd like. It falls under the
current intent; it ensures the output is valid XML; it is cleaner then using
the <xsl:comment> tag; and it can be used in the same way to embed non-XML
code in the output.

Any reason we have <xsl:comment> and not <xsl:cdata>? Any chance we may get
<xsl:cdata>?

Have fun,
