in another thread Florent posted [1] a link to a XML serializer written

That serializer is written in XSLT 2.0 and cannot be used in browsers;
they do support XSLT 1.0 only.

It has been done in XSLT 1.0 too: http://lenzconsulting.com/xml-to-string/xml-to-string.xsl

With Michael's help I got the differentiation of the 6 XML node types

Question 3:
Is it correct, that a stylesheet cannot have access to the CDATA sections?
(I think the parser removes them)

The XSLT/XPath data model does not know any CDATA sections respectively does not distinguish between "normal" text nodes and CDATA section nodes, like the W3C DOM does. So XSLT operates on a tree model where there are only text nodes.
