Can't guarantee that. However:
><foo><![CDATA[ Chic&Apart ]]></foo>
><bar><![CDATA[ 99 < 100 ]]></bar>

No XSLT engine should do that, either. What you're most like to get is
<foo> Chic&Apart </foo>
<bar> 99 < 100 </bar>
(note the spaces, which are part of those CDATA marked sections)
This is valid input for further processing, and is exactly identical in
everything except the syntax to your input document.
