It's quite tricky to handle markup properly when the document author has
gone to such extreme lengths to conceal the markup (by escaping it). It's
particularly confusing that in the <title> element, escaping has been used
properly (to escape a real ampersand character), while in <content> it has
been used improperly (to escape < and > characters that are really markup,
not text).
Because the markup has been disguised as text, you need to put the contents
of the <content> element through a second stage of XML parsing to turn it
into a tree structure. Saxon has an extension saxon:parse() specifically for
this purpose.
