I have to do a XML->XML transformation.
My source XML can contain different (unknown) elements with CDATA
sections,
which should be copied preserving the CDATA sections untouched.

Can't guarantee that. However:

<foo><![CDATA[ Chic&Apart ]]></foo>
<bar><![CDATA[ 99 < 100 ]]></bar>
Should pass the transformation untouched and shoud not result in
<foo>Chic&Apart</foo>
<bar>99 < 100</bar>
which would be obviously invalid input for further processing.

No XSLT engine should do that, either. What you're most like to get is

<foo> Chic&amp;Apart </foo>
<bar> 99 &lt; 100 </bar>

(note the spaces, which are part of those CDATA marked sections)

This is valid input for further processing, and is exactly identical in everything except the syntax to your input document.
