No, you don't need to. CDATA is just one way to escape text, there are 
others as well which should yield the same result in recipients that use 
a proper XML parser.

<Something>
     <URL>http://myurl/mypage.aspx?param1=10&amp;param2=50</URL>
</Something>

should work as well.

You can use the "cdata-section-elements" attribute on xsl:output (see 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#output>).
