CDATA sections are just a convenience so that you don't have to escape the
markup in the source document. It doesn't make the character data mean
anything different than
Test News<br><br>Test News etc etc.
If you want to produce non-well-formed output like you describe, you need
to use disable-output-escaping="yes" when you create the text node with
value-of. Ideally you should not be trying to embed one form of SGML in
another. XSLT is not the best tool for mixing legacy HTML with XML.
