Shelly,

The XML parser in your your XSLT processor is interpretting
the first ampersand in your code as the beginning of an
entity reference. An entity reference begins with an
ampersand and ends with a semicolon. The XML parser looked
for a semicolon after the first ampersand and it never found
one.

The solution is to replace each literal ampersand in your code
with "&amp;". For example:

<a>
href="http://wwwapps.ups.com/etracking/tracking.cgi?tracknums_displayed=&amp
;TypeOfInquiryNumber=T&amp;HTMLVersion=4.0&amp;InquiryNumber1={$trackNum}&am
p;track.x=22&amp;track.y=10">

Hope this helps.

Bob
