You need to re-educate the recipient of the XML that CDATA has no semantics.
If you can't do that, you need to write your own serializer.
Or perhaps you could output processing instructions <?start-cdata?> and
<?end-cdata?> and then postprocess the output to turn these into <![CDATA[
and ]]> respectively.

Subject: [xsl] Processing empty nodes in XSLT
I need to enclose the data in my XML in CDATA. Doing this for
nodes with data was simple.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:output cdata-section-elements="<list of node names>"/>
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
That was simple. Except that doesn't work for empty nodes.
For empty nodes I need <name><![CDATA[]]></name>. I've tried
various ways of doing this but I don't seem to understand how
to process each node of the input. I would like the solution
to generically add "<![CDATA[]] >" to all empty nodes.
Thanks,
Chris Griffin
