I just read the spec and '>' is not a must-escape character.
I agree with you that it is better to escape it and I did it in
LtGtAmp template (xml-to-string does not escape '>').
Most likely the well known non-conformance of msxml which discards all
white space text nodes. Stick xml:space="preserve" at the top level of
your output document to avoid this. (generate it with <xsl:attribute
name="xml:space", don't put a literal xml:space attribute in your
stylesheet.
Thanks you for that hint. I modified serialize-demo.xsl to add the
attribute and now the generated output starts this way:
<html xml:space="preserve"><body>
<h2>XSLT 1.0 serializer for XML</h2>
...
But the display in IE8 is as ugly as before ...
Or do I have to add xml:space="preserve" to the <pre> tag at the
beginning of the serialized output in serialize-demo.xsl?

This was the reason for template escapeLtGtAmp to escape all three in
order to match the copy-of behavior.
Why does xsl:copy-of escape '>'?
copy-of doesn't escape anything. In teh result tree formed by xslt the
character isn't esacaped. Then when the result tree is serialised it may
or may not be escaped at the choice of the XSLT system (but this choice
will be for all < without any knowledge of whether it came from copy-of.
Question 2:
The displayed output looks quite nice for Firefox, Chrome, Safari and
Opera
browsers (Firefox does not support the namespace:: axis and cannot handle
and display namespaces).
Why is the serialized XML displayed by IE6 and IE8 looking completely
different to all the other browsers (ugly)?
Most likely the well known non-conformance of msxml which discards all
white space text nodes. Stick xml:space="preserve" at the top level of
your output document to avoid this. (generate it with <xsl:attribute
name="xml:space", don't put a literal xml:space attribute in your
stylesheet.
Question 3:
Is it correct, that a stylesheet cannot have access to the CDATA
sections?
(I think the parser removes them)
true
Question 4:
Is it correct, that a stylesheet cannot access the "original" attribute
values (including eg. newlines) but only the result of Attribute-Value
Normalization [8]?
yes
