You are right that it should be "&" in HTML, but the XSLT page is
No, he isn't. It's "&" *both* in HTML and XML.
in XML. It
is only translated to HTML by the XSLT engine's serializer, when
you specify
an <xsl:output method="html"/> tag. The engine doesn't copy the text
literally; it first parses the XSLT page using a normal XML
parser, and then
serializes the parsed text according to the output method and encoding.
Correct.
But note that it would be a *bug* if the XSLT engine serialized the
ampersand just as "&" in HTML attributes.
