substrings with entities or not.


So given the following XML
<someXML>
	<something>Adam said, &quot;This is a lot of work!"</something>
	<something>Adam also said, "This is a lot of work!&quot;</something>
</someXML>

I want to get the strings <<Adam said, >> and <<Adam also said, >>

can I use 

<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(something, '&quot;')" /> 

and exect everything to work out OK? My problem is that I can't really
guarantee that I'm going to have either the character or the entity in my
source.
