The XSLT/XPath specs take the view that CDATA is purely an input convenience to save you having to escape special characters; it doesn't affect the information content of a document. So <foo><![CDATA[ Chic&Apart ]]></foo> and <foo> Chic&Apart </foo> are precisely equivalent. Most XSLT processors will output the latter, but it shouldn't make any difference to subsequent users of the document which they choose.
