The XSLT/XPath data model does not know any CDATA sections, the XSLT 
processor only sees text nodes where the original XML might have 
contained a CDATA section.
If you want a CDATA section in the serializezd XML output of a 
stylesheet then using the 'cdata-section-elements' attribute is the way 
to achieve that.
If you have a different stylesheet producing XHTML served as text/html 
on the web then CDATA sections don't make sense but in such a stylesheet 
you can certainly use xsl:value-of with disable-output-escaping="yes" to 
have the escaped markup result in elements.
