hmmmm actually i might be interested in this thread...
maybe solving my problem will help out original poster
too..

I have a CDATA section with possibly non-compliant
html content coming in from my source document(RSS
feed).
Therefore I set my xsl:output method attribute to html
for my stylesheet.
but when i do a value-of for the node the CDATA is in,
I get escaped entity references so <TD> comes our as
&lt;TD&gt; which of course i dont want in my html
document.
I understand that CDATA get intrepreted like that so
you dont have to escape '<' etc, i tried various
things... the thing which i thought would work is
using a 'disable-output-escaping'

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="true"><xsl:value-of
select="."></xsl:text>

but didnt work.
using saxon 8.3

googling and looking at dpawson's page i think maybe
<xsl:value-of select="SummaryHTML"
disable-output-escaping="yes"/> is what i want but i
will test tomorrow, any confirmations will be helpful.

Thanks!
Arian

 A serialiser is allowed to do that (as " and &quot;
are equivalent)
 however it's rather surprising that it should use
entity references in
 element content. which system are you using?
However if you are
 generating xhtml " and & quot; are equivalent so it
shouldn't matter
 (if you are giving the resulting file to a conforma
xhtml system)

If you are generating html, then if the html output
method is being
used, the serialiser should never use any entity
references in the
content of a script element (in no namespace) so in
this case, if you
are getting quot; it's a processor bug.

Within the stylesheet youcan either use a cdata
section or write the <
as &lt; (these are equivalent input and the choice
of input style has no
effect on the result).
