You're talking about "tags". Tags don't exist in the data manipulated by XSLT. XSLT only manipulates nodes in a tree. The way to solve your problem is to use XSLT the way it was designed to be used: forget about CDATA and tags, and think about element nodes. Now take a step back, and tell us what you actually want to achieve - that is, the input and output of your transformation, rather than your incorrect attempts at coding the solution.
