CDATA element in XSL?

Is there a way I can tell my XSLT processor not to interpret "<" "&" etc. As special characters?

I know I can put CDATA element around the part in XML which I do not want interpreted. But if there is a way to indicate this in the stylesheet I would prefer this approach. 

Where would I put a CDATA declaration like this <![CDATA[ & <> [] ]]> in an XSL file?

Cheers,
Flemming
