ok.  one last question... the search and replace works now.  but when i pass 
in a '&' character to the xsl it totally dies.  i'm using xalan as my

before it tries to parse it?

No. The XSLT processor relies on an XML parser for its input, and the parser
will reject a malformed document because those are the rules of XML
processing. You must provide well-formed input to the parser if you want it to
pass the important parts of the document to the next application in the chain.
