Martin,
thank you. I understand that the '>' doesn't have to be escaped in
this case, and the final results is valid XML. However,
I am wondering about a clean way to prevent the serializer from
escaping it in the attributes.
Currently, the combination of <xsl:text> and CDATA, is working fine,
but it's ugly as I loose syntax highlight, and indentation.
That is why I am looking for a better a way.
Thank you.

So I have this in my template:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<![CDATA[

rev="1.6.4"
conf="provided->*" />

<exclude module="jmxtools" />
</dependency>
<dependency org="junit" name="junit" rev="4.8"
conf="test->*" />
<dependency org="javax.servlet"
name="javax.servlet-api"
rev="3.0.1" conf="provided->*">
<artifact name="javax.servlet-api" type="jar" />
</dependency>
]]>
</xsl:text>
I am using text and CDATA, as you can see in my style sheet.
Is there a better way to output this without escaping the XML and
generate the indented XML ?
Well the '>' sign does not need to be escaped but often is. So I don't see
any problem with doing
<dependency org="org.slf4j" name="slf4j-api"
rev="1.6.4"
conf="provided->*" />
<dependency org="org.slf4j" name="slf4j-log4j12"
rev="1.6.4"
conf="compile->*" />
<dependency org="log4j" name="log4j"
rev="1.2.16"
conf="compile->*,!sources,!javadoc" >
<exclude module="jmxri" />
<exclude module="jmxtools" />
</dependency>
<dependency org="junit" name="junit" rev="4.8"
conf="test->*" />
<dependency org="javax.servlet"
name="javax.servlet-api"
rev="3.0.1" conf="provided->*">
<artifact name="javax.servlet-api" type="jar" />
</dependency>
literally in your stylesheet code, the serializer might later escape the '>'
signs '>'.
If you want to use less than signs '<' then you need to escape them e.g
<foo att="a < b"/>
that is an XML syntax requirement and not specific to XSLT.
