Here's a solution which works ... but can it be done more elegantly?
<xsl:template match="*" mode="entities"><<xsl:value-of
select="name()"/><xsl:for-each select="@*"> <xsl:value-of
select="name()"/>="<xsl:value-of
select="."/>"</xsl:for-each>><xsl:apply-templates mode="entities"/>
</xsl:template>

We are passing a fragment of XML into a template as a param.
In this case the XML fragments look something like : <call
function="analogous">base_colour=<value
target_id="base_colour"/>,choice=1</call>
We are aiming to store this string in the value attribute of a html
hidden input form so we would like to map all angular brackets to
their < > equivalents, and & to & etc.
String functions like translate or substring work on the text node
parts (like "base_colour=" and "choice=1") but do not process the
nodes like <call or <value.
Can we do a "toString" on this XML fragment or are we approaching this
the wrong way around...
Many thanks for you time,
