But even DITA recognizes these <sub> and <sup> tags just as AdobeFramemaker does, so we use them for all publications actually.

The XSLT/XPath data model does not know any CDATA sections, the XSLT processor only sees text nodes where the original XML might have contained a CDATA section. If you want a CDATA section in the serializezd XML output of a stylesheet then using the 'cdata-section-elements' attribute is the way to achieve that. If you have a different stylesheet producing XHTML served as text/html on the web then CDATA sections don't make sense but in such a stylesheet you can certainly use xsl:value-of with disable-output-escaping="yes" to have the escaped markup result in elements.
