I assume you're not trying to output XML despite the presence of angle
brackets, because what you want isn't valid XML.  You'll need to set your
output method to text and use disable-output-escaping, although it may not
work with your XSLT implementation:

  <xsl:output method="text"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;cfreturn this&gt;</xsl:text>
  </xsl:template>

What are you trying to create with your transformation?  Any solution that
requires d-o-e may indicate that XSLT isn't the best tool for the job.
