How to output CDATA sections in XQuery
I use Saxon through XSLPalette.app.
Add this to the prolog of your XQuery program:
declare namespace saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/";
declare option saxon:output "cdata-section-elements=content";
That will transform
<content>Hello, I am <em>some</em>content!</content>
into
<something><![CDATA[Hello, I am <em>some</em>content!]]></something>
