The purpose of CDATA is to tell the XML parser that the <B> is to be treated
as ordinary character data, not as markup. In your case you want it treated
as markup. So why are you putting it in CDATA?
Perhaps it's HTML rather than XML, so you can't nest it directly. The best
answer to that is to make the HTML into XHTML. But OK, you can't always do
that when you have lots of legacy HTML. To deal with that messy situation,
XSLT provides a messy tool: it's called disable-output-escaping="yes". Use
it only when you are desparate, and can't find a proper design solution to
the requirement.
