There was a thread on this in the last couple of days, have you just
joined the list?
You can't "keep" é as the system has no knowledge that the input
was of that form (it will have been reported as a character by the xml
parser before xslt ever started.)
You can force it to be output as a character reference by selecting an
output encoding that does not have that character (us-ascii for example,
if your xslt engine supports that encoding)
