> am I quite right or quite wrong? you are right that < is different from < in an XML document but wrong to deduce from this your initial assertion that youneed XSLT to preserve CDATA markup. > you mention 3 ways the serializer could output this element. And there are severl others it could use too. > my question is could it also output it as '<' itself, As I am sure I stated (and the XSLT certainly states) the requirement on the XSLT system i sto output something that when parsed by an XML parser wold re-create the result tree. So outputting a < character as an element clearly would not be allowed. > ie wouldn't an XML parser report '<' in the same way it would report > <, or is that the point here - that it would report these differently? If it's not in a CDATA section a parser would not report < as a character at all, it would just be tokenised as teh start of a tag markup.
