No cdats-section elements is a hint that you'd rather a < was serialised
as 
<![CDATA[<]]> than &lt; but it only applies to character data, it
doesn't affect the way element tags are generated.

You need to convert your xml tree to a linear string using a mode
something like

<xsl:template match="*" mode="verb>
 <xsl:text>&lt;</xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
 <xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
 <xsl:apply-templates mode="verb"/>
 <xsl:text>&lt;/</xsl:text>
 <xsl:value-of select="name()"/>
 <xsl:text>&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

(more complete versions dealing with attributes etc can be found in the
archives).
