Mix of text and UBB code within CDATA
==transform UBB with XSLT==
Result is HTML
Example of XML:

<y><![CDATA[This is an [b]EXAMPLE[/b]]]></y>

HTML Result:
This is an <b>EXAMPLE</b>
Again, that's not too difficult with an S&R template. (BTW
in this case, the CDATA is redundant).
Problems arise for text like
This is [ an [ill/formed] [b=http://stuff:]EXAMPLE[/u]]
Note that the brackets are even balanced :-)
Building a parser which gets well formed XHTML out of this
isn't easy whether in XSLT or any other language. In XSLT
it will additionally take a lot of source code lines and is
likely to be slow too.
