Thank you Michael Kay and Tom Passin.
I do have to serialize xml with angle brackets and attributes.
I must use Microsoft .NET parser and processor.
Postprocessing with multiple transformation, I think, is the only viable
solution.
I hope there will be a serialization capability defined for XSLT 2.0 .

Try saxon:serialize(), followed by one of the many ways of
doing string
replacement to double the quotes. Or you could write a
similar extension
function for a different processor. People have in the past
posted code
that does serialization in XSLT itself, and then uses
disable-output-escaping to prevent the markup being escaped, but I
wouldn't recommend it myself.

Subject: [xsl] Replace characters in a node and all of its
descendents
I need to generate an SQL "INSERT INTO" statement from an xml
document. One of the columns must hold the string
representation of an XML node with all of its descendents. To
insert this node as a string I must replace each single quote
with other two single quotes for conformance with SQL syntax.
I can not send a deep copy of the node taken with
<xsl:copy-of> to the $text parameter of the "replace-string"
template posted by Evan Lenz at
http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/replace.htm> l
How can I get
a deep copy of a node as a string to process
it? Multiple transformations are not recomended. Thanks.
