Sorry, the documentation is out of date. disable-output-escaping was added
to xsl:attribute in a draft of XSLT 2.0 but was subsequently removed. It's
no longer supported in Saxon, and neither is the Saxon extension
saxon:disable-output-escaping. In Saxon 8.x, use character maps.

I tried it with saxon 6.5.3 but it didn't seem to work.
After reading through the docs I found this in the docs for
xsl:attribute:
The attribute |disable-output-escaping| is new in XSLT 2.0.
If this is
set to the value "yes", then the attribute value will be
output as-is,
without escaping of special characters. This affects both the
normal XML
escaping (e.g. of ampersand) and the special URL escaping that occurs
with non-ASCII characters in HTML URL attributes (e.g. href) which
normally causes a space to be output as %20. Saxon's
extension attribute
|saxon:disable-output-escaping|, which served the same purpose in
previous Saxon releases, is no longer available.
But I can't get it to work either way.

You can do this in XSLT 2.0 by using character maps. Assign
two special
characters (for example, #xAB and #x BB) to the role of "<%"
and "%>" and
then define a character map to replace them on serialization.

Subject: [xsl] disable-output-escaping for attributes
Some weeks ago I began converting some HTML pages which
contain asp tags
to xml to have only the structure without any layout
related overhead
(to easy conversion to new layouts via XSL).
Some of these asp tags are "text" or could be treated as
text nodes.
These are the nodes I tested my xsl templates with.
However some of the HTML elements use the result of asp calls
as values
for attributes.
After many, many pages of really bad HTML have been manually
converted I
noticed to my horror that these attributes were actually
escaped where I
didn't want them to.
After reading a lot of other post I am lost. It seems that
no one has
thought about someone needing unescaped text as an attribute
value and
therefore "disable-output-escaping" does not work for attibutes.
Does a tool exist which supports a non-compliant mode to get
the things
done? Or is there a workaround?
Thanks,
Victor
old HTML:
<select name="myValue">
<option valu="0" selected="<% is_sel("myValue","0","selected")%>"
0</option>
<option valu="1" selected="<% is_sel("myValue","1","selected")%>"
1</option>
</select>
XML:
<select name="myValue">
<option valu="0">
<attribute name="selected"><![CDATA[<%
is_sel("myValue","0","selected")%>]]></attribute>
<text>0</text>
</option>
<option valu="1">
<attribute name="selected"><![CDATA[<%
is_sel("myValue","1","selected")%>]]></attribute>
<text>1</text>
</option>
</select>
XSL:
<xsl:template match="attribute">
<xsl:attribute name="{(_at_)name}"><xsl:value-of select="."
disable-output-escaping="yes"/></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
