RE: [xsl] Disable-output-escaping with Saxonlt 6.1 to output &

["Michael Kay" <mhkay at iclway dot co dot uk>]

The XSLT spec says that disable-output-escaping only applies when you are
writing to a text node; it doesn't work when you are writing to an attribute
node.

Saxon provides <xsl:attribute saxon:disable-output-escaping="yes"> for this
reason.
