   and i want this output:

  <programlisting><[CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>;
   ]]></programlisting>


so what you want is 

and i want this output:

<programlisting>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>;
 </programlisting>

as that is equivalent.

You can getthat by putting either

<programlisting>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>;
 </programlisting>

or

<programlisting><CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>;
 ]]></programlisting>


in your stylesheet. If you want the serialiser to use CDATA rather than
&lt; in the result list programlisting in the cdata-section-eleemnts
attribute on xsl:stylesheet. Then the system will use CDATA when
outputting programlisting elements (whether or not a CDATA section is
used for input)

However CDATA is really a convenience for hand authoring it so shouldn't
normally matter whether they are used or not in machine generated files
like the result of an xslt transfromation.
