whooops thats what i meant, a CDATA is a simple text
node, just trying to get more info out of it if
possible...
David was mentioning that "some xslt systems have
extension functions to allow you to
execute a [xml] parser" with an extension function.
Does Saxon have an extension to do this and/or how
would one go about doing this?
I am not sure if I will ever use it, just curious when
I was looking at bringing rss feeds into flash.

Wrong. CDATA sections don't result in nodes in the
tree. CDATA is simply a
way of escaping special characters, so that & means
ampersand rather than
introducing an entity reference, and < means
less-than rather than
introducing a start tag. The content of the CDATA
section is concatenated
with adjacent text to produce a normal text node in
the tree. CDATA section
boundaries are not considered to carry any
information.
