I'd like to produce an entity reference, say "&copy;", from XML to HTML

Put Unicode character #169 (the copyright symbol) in your stylesheet
with &#169; or &#xA9;

Change your output encoding to us-ascii to ensure that the XSLT processor
won't emit that character directly encoded. ASCII does not have a copyright 
symbol, so the processor will emit a numeric character reference like &#169; 
or an entity reference like &copy.

You won't be able to control whether the processor emits &#169; or
&copy;, but I believe most XSLT processors try to emit entity refs when
the character falls in the latin-1 range and isn't able to be expressed
directly in the given encoding.
