RE: [xsl] replacing special characters in xsl:copy

The message element doesn't contain any "<" characters, so there are none to
replace. The string value of this element is " Text warning of foo".
Wrapping text in CDATA has no effect unless there are characters that would
otherwise be treated as markup, in which case it tells the XML parser to
treat such characters as if they had been escaped - for example "<" is
treated as a representation of the character "<" and not as markup. The
actual CDATA start and end markup is no more accessible to your stylesheet
than the quotes around an attribute value.
