If you mean you have something like <a>....<![CDATA[...<e>...</e>....]]>....</a> then no; the whole point of CDATA is to tell the processor to treat the "<" and ">" within it as ordinary characters, not as XML markup. If you want to treat it as markup, why include it in CDATA? The only way out if you have to cope with this kind of document design is to extract the text node containing the CDATA and put it through an XML parser, which can't be done within XSLT, except by external functions.
