I have thought of enclosing the list in its own element,
<sql><![CDATA[SELECT * FROM users WHERE status IN
(]]><list>'alive,'awake','sentient'</list>><![CDATA[)]]></sql>
Why not go further:
<sql><![CDATA[SELECT * FROM users WHERE status IN
(]]><list><item>alive</item><item>awake</item><item>sentient</item></list>><
![CDATA[)]]></sql>
but there isn't any XSLT construct to permit me to select all
the content of an element EXCEPT the content of the child
<list>. Or at least I can't think of one.
You can select all the child text nodes: sql/text().
But the usual way of processing mixed content in XSLT is apply-templates:
<xsl:template match="sql">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="sql/list">...
<xsl:template match="sql/text()">...
