I don't have control over the processor that I'm sending this XML data to. :-(

You need to re-educate the recipient of the XML that CDATA has no semantics. If you can't do that, you need to write your own serializer.

Or perhaps you could output processing instructions <?start-cdata?> and <?end-cdata?> and then postprocess the output to turn these into <! [CDATA[ and ]]> respectively.

I need to enclose the data in my XML in CDATA. Doing this for
nodes with data was simple.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
   <xsl:output cdata-section-elements="<list of node names>"/>
   <xsl:template match="*">
     <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

That was simple. Except that doesn't work for empty nodes.
For empty nodes I need <name><![CDATA[]]></name>. I've tried
various ways of doing this but I don't seem to understand how
to process each node of the input. I would like the solution
to generically add "<![CDATA[]]  >" to all empty nodes.

Thanks,
Chris Griffin
