Re: [xsl] Removing namespaces without escaping CDATA???

["Mukul Gandhi" <gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx>]

I shall try to explain my point of view..

Let's say we have following XML:
<x>
 <y></y>
 <p>
   <y></y>
   <q>
      <y></y>
   </q>
 </p>
</x>
(text content can be placed anywhere as desired)

If I do, <xsl:output cdata-section-elements="y" />, then all y
elements will contain CDATA sections. This may be desirable in very
specific cases. But it will be more convenient, if I am able to put
CDATA section at this location /x/p/q/y, and not to any other y's.

Can we achieve this (in 1.0 or 2.0)?
