Tags and other artifacts of serialization are nonexistent in the XPath/XSLT data model, since XML parsers are designed to sift through all that and tell applications such as XSLT processors only about the important logical constructs (elements, attributes, character data, and their relationships to one another). So what you are asking for is a way to serialize this parsed data (nodes in the source or result tree) during processing, putting the serialized markup and text into a text node child of the description element. This is painful to do in XSLT but not impossible. Have a look at http://www.xmlportfolio.com/xml-to-string/ In your stylesheet you just need to call the xml-to-string template, passing the node-set parameter that contains the top of the XHTML nodes you want to serialize.
