Think of it this way: parsing the data turns angle brackets into nodes, and
&lt; into angle brackets. You can think of this as unescaping. Serializing
the data turns nodes into angle brackets, and angle brackets into &lt; You
can think of this as escaping. In your transformation you want to turn &lt;
into angle brackets which means you need to unescape once more often than
you escape. This is what disable-output-escaping does.

I know escaped content in xml is bad, but I've got some and I wanna do
something with it. Pleas help?!

I have markup like this:
<description>Platform Computing's &lt;a
href="http://www.platform.com/newsevents/pressreleases/preleas
e.asp?id=82"
&gt; announcement &lt;/a&gt; However, &lt;a
href="http://www.gridsystems.com"; &gt;...</description>

I want to transform it to html. Like this,

<xsl:for-each select="description" >
        <xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:for-each>

I do not believe disable-output-escaping is the solution cuz 
it has already
been disabled. So I am stumped how do I de-escape this? Any help would
really be appreciated.

Thanks

kent
