The second argument to matches (the regex) has to be a string, you have
<![CDATA 
the regex needs to be inside quotes.

However if your content has a CDATA section you won't find the string 
<![CDATA 
in the content any more than you will find an element start tag by
looking at the element content.

CDATA sections are resolved by the xml parser and not reported to XSLt
at all.

the input
<x><![CDATA[ 1 , 2 ]]></x>
is _identical_ to
<x> 1 &lt; 2 </x>
