I shall try to explain my point of view..

Let's say we have following XML:
<x>
 <y></y>
 <p>
   <y></y>
   <q>
      <y></y>
   </q>
 </p>
</x>
(text content can be placed anywhere as desired)

If I do, <xsl:output cdata-section-elements="y" />, then all y
elements will contain CDATA sections. This may be desirable in very
specific cases. But it will be more convenient, if I am able to put
CDATA section at this location /x/p/q/y, and not to any other y's.

Can we achieve this (in 1.0 or 2.0)?

No ... remember that the emitted result tree cannot be addressed in any fashion and the distinction between the different contexts of "y" in the result tree is, effectively, trying to address the result tree to know "where am I now in the result tree?" in order to selectively apply the serialization rule.

Note in XSLT 2.0 Section 20 and XSLT 1.0 Section 16 that the data type of the cdata-section-elements is just a white-space-separated list of QNames ... there is no opportunity to specify context for each one.

I hope this helps.
