Re: [xsl] Wrapping content in a CDATA tag

You problem sounds similar to one I brought up on this group in January, in relation to
Google Earth's kml format.
David Carlisle provided a useful response.

It looks unlikely (or impossible?), as Dr Kay has said, that CDATA is actually __required__ by the schema/DTD/whatever. It is for the human reader, or xml-author that they suggest it.

Michael,
It's for a proprietary system. I can't figure out the logic either but it's how they require it. I think they do this because the content could contain XML tags that will be parsed separately. Therefore they want the content wrapped in a CDATA tag like shown. Is there any way I can do this?

I have an XSLT that is changing element names to match a specific
schema. The schema requires that I wrap the content in a CDATA tag.

What kind of schema is that? The popular schema languages (XSD, RelaxNG,
DTD, Schematron) have no way of imposing such a requirement, and for good
reasons.
