not a new element, but the cdata-section hint only applies to text
nodes, clearly you can't have elements inside a CDATA section, that's
their whole point.

If you are trying to produce 
<abc><![CDATA[<x>aaa</x>]]></abc>
then note that this is the same as
<abc>&lt;x&gt;aaa&lt;/x&gt;</abc>
so you need to create an abc with just that single text node in your
stylesheet, and then use the cdata-elements to request that it be output
using CDATA rather than &lt; (although it shouldn't make any difference
to the following application which form is used)
