CDATA sections are un-escaped character data, not elements.

They are transparent to XSLT applications, so

<foo><![CDATA[.....snip.....]]></foo>

and

<foo>.....snip.....</foo>

are logically the same.

Use the normal text selection mechansim to get the equivalent text content.

<value-of select="foo"/>

If you have a sequence of CDATA sections, you won't be able to use XSLT to
separate them, as

<foo><![CDATA[text from section one]]><![CDATA[text from section two]]></foo>

and

<foo>text from section onetext from section two</foo>

are logically the same.
