RE: [xsl] apply template to XSL text contents?

---

There are no HTML tags inside the CDATA. They look like HTML tags, but
that's an illusion: the CDATA tag tells us (its only purpose is to tell us)
that this is ordinary character data, not to be treated as if it were
markup.

If you can't change the XML design, your only option is to extract the text
and put it through a parser, which you could do for example using the
saxon:parse extension.
