RE: [xsl] Adding CDATA to the transformed XML

---

---

There is a serialization option

xsl:output cdata-section-elements="SenderFaxNumber"

But why would you want to put a fax number in CDATA? The only effect of
CDATA is that the serializer then doesn't need to escape special characters
like "<" and "&", and these aren't very likely to appear in a fax number, so
it's just wasted bandwidth.
