Subject: Unescaped CDATA?

Hi,
I use a Python script to build XML files out of database records. Within these
records, a certain field contains (not necessarily well-formed) HTML.
I need my XSLT processor to skip this data when transforming the document to
an HTML document. So I thought it would be a great idea to enclose the data in
a CDATA section:
<content>
<![CDATA[
(malformed HTML here)
]]>
</content>
This works - but the tags within the CDATA section are escaped to literal <p>,
<i> etc. So the browser displays
<i>Serapions-Br|der</i>
instead of the italic text Serapions-Br|der. How can I
a) keep the XSLT processor from choking at the malformed HTML and
b) leave the tags within the HTML unescaped?
Thanks,
Jan
