If the XSL stylesheet has <![CDATA[&foo;]]> then that, since this is CDATA, is the 5 characters. & f o o ;. So how is that to be written to the result tree? xt currently does &foo; which correctly represents those characters. It could I suppose do <![CDATA[&foo;]]> again, but it would be hard for it to know good places to start and stop CDATA sections. It can't write out &foo; as that is not the five characters that it is trying to output as specified in the original CDATA section, it is something else, or an error, depending on whatever foo is defined to be in the DTD for the output tree. DSSSL (or rather jade) has (declare-flow-object-class formatting-instruction "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Flow Object Class::formatting-instruction") to allow markup to be output. I would guess that what the XSL folks want to avoid is making it easy to output non well formed XML from XSL (which seems reasonable).
