Note that XSLt will not see the CDATA section, so whatever code you
finally use, you would get the same result if the input was


<img.embed>R0lGODlhDQANAMQ0IAOw==</img.embed>


> Required output
> <![CDATA[R0lGODlhDQANAMQ0IAOw==]]>


why is that the required output? If the output is not XML, why does it
need the XML CDATA syntax, and if it is XML then the requested output
is the same as Required output R0lGODlhDQANAMQ0IAOw==  you should not
care about CDATA sections just as you should not care whether an
attribute is marked up as x="a" or x =  'a'  it is just irrelevant
syntactic details that make no difference to the parsed document.
