Re: output of cdata within xsl:value-of select

The fragment of code in my XML file is:

<TGMSG><![CDATA[This is a test message, hopefully this will go through
        line2
        line3
        line4
        line5
        line6 end.]]>
</TGMSG>

The _only_ purpose of a CDATA section is to stop < and & having their
special meanings so the above is identical in the Xpath data model to

<TGMSG>This is a test message, hopefully this will go through
        line2
        line3
        line4
        line5
        line6 end.
</TGMSG>


You just want to tell the FO renderer to keep the line ends, and to 
typeset them as line breaks, something like

    linefeed-treatment="preserve"
    white-space-collapse="false"
    white-space-treatment="preserve"

there was a thread on this over on the www-xsl-fo list the other day,
