It would contain just text, just like <xsl:comment> does. It would
presumably generate a node in the output tree which would indicate to any
further processor of the tree that text within this node should be printed
on the final output within a CDATA section.

It seems agreed that SAX should be extended to provide a comment event;
adopting <xsl:cdata> and <xsl:char-entity> would mean it would need to have
two extra events. If <xsl:not-xml> was supported, that would mean yet
another one. How this should be reflected in the DOM isn't clear to me; I'm
not very familiar with the DOM interface.

It would be interesting to see how Microsoft's XSL processor handles this.
Does it have a SAX or a DOM interface at all?
