I use a Python script to build XML files out of database records.
Within these records, a certain field contains (not necessarily

I need my XSLT processor to skip this data when transforming the
document to an HTML document. So I thought it would be a great idea
to enclose the data in a CDATA section:
That is not just a great idea, it is required.
Sorry, that was a misleading statement ... what is *required* is that
the markup-sensitive characters in your HTML tag soup be
escaped. How you escape them is not important, and CDATA sections
are a convenient way to do such escaping ... though of course you
could have used any method for escaping each individual
markup-sensitive character.
