The elements have the strange definition shown below:

That isn't an element, it's a CDATA section and is invisible to an XSLT
processor. You just extract the data from the surrounding element in the
usual way.
Ok, so I cannot parse anything inside that section...
CDATA is just an authoring convenience, within the marked region < acts
like < and & acts like & so if you have a large chunk of XML that
you want to quote as data rather than as part of the XML tree, you can
do
<x><![[CDATA[<p>zzz <span>dddd ...</span></p>]]></x>
but XSLT will see the same input as if you had gone
<x><p>zzz <span>dddd &nbsp; ...</span></p></x>
Well.... I got confused now.... Do you mean that I won't be able to
obtain formally correct XML files without an additional non-XSL
transformation (necessary to remove the <![CDATA[ token) of the
XSL-transformated file.
Am I right?
