Re: Make safe XML

> a)  use XSLT to encode special characters

I'm not sure what you mean by this.
If your input characters are not already encoded in an XML-compatible
way, then you will get a fatal error parsing your input document
and you won't be able to run XSLT on it. If they are already encoded in
an XML compatible way, what to you want XSLT to do?

> b)  just throw all data into CDATA nodes?
CDATA nodes _only_ affect the interpretation of < and &
all other characters are interoretted the same way inside and outside
CDATA sections, so this is unlikely to help.
