CDATA and XSLT

Hi,

I have any XML-Inputstream containing CDATA-Sections (With 
HTML-Markup).  When I  directly serialize the generators output to  HTML 
the  HTML-Markup  is applied.  But as soon as I process the Data with an 
XSL-STylesheet, the Markup is Excaped (&lt,b&gt; etc) and not applied 
anymore. I tried to declare the CDATA-ELements in xsl:output 
cdata-section-elements, but this doesn't seem to have any effect.  Did 
anyone come across this problem and found a solution?

Here is the  Stylesheet I use for testing

    <xsl:output method="xml" cdata-section-elements="TEASERBODY"/>   
     <xsl:template match="node()|@*">
      <xsl:copy>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
      </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>

Thanks

Ole

1. This is more or less an XSLT question and so this is not the 
appropriate list.

2. The Cocoon part of the question is the ignoring of xsl:output, you 
have to add the @cdata-section-elements to the serializer component 
declaration in the sitemap.

3. The behaviour you see is standard behaviour for XML "lifecycle" 
parse/transform/serialize. There is no difference between non-escaped 
markup in CDATA and escaped one outside of CDATA. So besides easier 
human reading there is no need for having CDATA sections.
