Hi,

If my input XML has CDATA that contains a well-formed XML document:

   <plan-text-item-data>
      <source-string-xml type="embeddedXML">
         <![CDATA[
            <?XML version="1.0"?>
               <strategyobservation smartid="FSR0100">
                  <paragraph>Consider annually reviewing your net worth
statement.</paragraph>
            </strategyobservation>
         ]]>
      </source-string-xml>
   </plan-text-item-data>

Is there a way using XSLT that I can emit that document as an XML element:

No. Embedding documents within documents like this is a *very* bad idea. ou should fix the source doucment so it uses a real element in the first place like this:

  <plan-text-item-data>
      <source-string-xml type="embeddedXML">
               <strategyobservation smartid="FSR0100">
                  <paragraph>Consider annually reviewing your net worth
statement.</paragraph>
            </strategyobservation>
      </source-string-xml>
   </plan-text-item-data>

Solving your problem is then trivial.
