[xsl] ampersands in URL as attribute value causing problems?

[Phillip Rhodes <spamsucks at rhoderunner dot com>]

I am down in the dumps about this.  Thanks for any help.

I have an well formed xhml document.
In the document, I have "img" elements that have a "src" attribute.
The attribute value of the "src" attribute is a URL.
The URL has ampersands in it.  For it to be a valid XML document, all the 
ampersands are escaped as &

The URL's do not work properly if they have the ampersands escaped.  They 
work fine if they are unescaped.

http://test?x=x&x=1&x=2 		works fine
http://test?x=x&x=1&x=2     Does not work

My question is, how can I represent a URL in xhtml without the ampersands 
being escaped and have it still be valid xml?
Should I consider running my xhtml document through a transformation that 
will unescape the ampersands?

As an aside, I am using JDOM.  It is a library that facilitates building 
xml documents.
Thanks
