When he put the sample code in the FAQ, it looks like Dave Pawson remembered
to change "<" and ">" to "&lt;" and "&gt;", but he forgot to change "&" to
"&amp;" so that it would render properly in the browser.

  <xsl:when test="$search &lt; count(document('')//foo:search)">

is what you want.

Also note there are 2 parts of the FAQ that cover pretty much the same 
topic.
