One of the reasons I am using a character map in this example is to
create a CDATA section in the output:

As I need '//' to appear before the CDATA section I cannot use the
cdata-section-elements <xsl:output/> attribute.

(Here's an example of why I need the '//':

Is there a way I can produce this kind of CDATA section in the output
without resorting to character maps?

Though I loath to recommend it, you could use disable-output-escaping= as follows:


<script type="text/javascript">//<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;</xsl:text>![CDATA[
some.onload(function(){
}};
//<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">]]&gt;</xsl:text></script>


I hope this helps.
