Saxon offers extension functions saxon:parse() and saxon:serialize().
The main use cases are for dealing with "double escaping" where one document
is placed inside a CDATA section within another document; it can also be
handy if you want to post-process the serialized output, for example by
adding an internal DTD. I also have a test driver in which I call
saxon:serialize on the test result and then compare the output with
reference results for the test.

Subject: [xsl] serializing and parsing xml in xslt
hello everybody.
i ran across a problem where someone wants to basically
serialize and parse xml in xslt. the idea is to "package"
some xml sub-trees in attribute values as strings (with
escaped markup) and then in another transformation to re-use
this text as xml. and all this in xslt 1.0...
i know that this is a weird idea, but i found it challenging
to think about how this could be done. i thought that one
would basically have to write one's own serializer and parser
in xslt, which probably is rather expensive. am i missing
some better way to solve this problem?
thanks and cheers,
dret.
