Oh dear, you really are very confused. The output of your transformation
is a tree containing a single text node. When this tree is serialized,
it will look like this if displayed in a text editor:

&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;&lt;students&gt;&lt;theage&gt;...

When this is displayed by the browser it looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?><students><theage>...

Presumably you want to generate a file that *is* XML, not a file that
*looks like* XML when displayed in the browser. So get rid of those
CDATA sections, whose only purpose is to tell the XSLT processor not to
treat the <student> as an XML tag, but rather as ordinary character
data.
