> How do you access cdata in XSL?
It is just text content the fact that there was a CDATA section is not
recorded, just as the fact thatan attribute value is quoted with " "
or ' ' is not recorded.

>  but it seems to have problems when cdata contains tags?
CDATA sections can not contain tags, that is the whole point of them.
<![CDATA[ aaa <x>bb</x> ]]> 
does not contain element start or end tags, it is identical input to
 aaa&lt;x>bbb&lt;/x&gt; 
The XSLT system sees the same input in both cases.
