I don't know if this will work on Xalan or other Java processors >
because I don't have access to it at this very second, but it works on
MSXML4. This is a hideous hack, kids, don't try this at home:
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:variable name="amper">
<xsl:text>&</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/">
<smil href="{$amper}">
</smil>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
In other words, change the output method to HTML. You shouldn't need
DOE.
This is a bug -- in fact MSXML3/4 only miss escaping an ampersand if
it's the last character in the value of an (html) attribute.
Try:
<smil href="{$amper}{$amper}"></smil>
and the result is:
<smil href="&&"></smil>
