Embedding html in xml problem

Hi,
I am trying to embed pregenerated html content into xml tags but I am
running into problems.

Basically, I want to have a top level xml document like:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<portal>
  <top> <html tags>some html stuff here</html tags> </top>
  <left></left>
  <content></content>
  <right></right>
  <bottom></bottom>
</portal>

Where I can put lots of html code between <top> and </top> (and all the rest
too).  So in my xsl I can have something like:

  <xsl:template match="top">
    <table width="100%" border="0" height="30">
      <tr>
        <td>
        <!-- whatever it takes to grab the values between the top tags,
value-of or whatever -->
        </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  <xsl:call-template name="left"/>
  <xsl:call-template name="bottom"/>
  </xsl:template>

I can almost make it work if I enclose the stuff between the top tags in a
<![CDATA[   ]]>, but then
I run into problems.  It ends up converting all the special characters, i.e.
< to &lt; which doesn't help me at all.  I tried using <xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"> but I can't get it to process right.

Am I missing something here, or is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
Kerry.
