Treat it as a workaround rather than a cure. Because DOE doesn't work in all
environments, and it stops you reusing your code as a step in a pipeline. It
would be better to fix the input side so it doesn't double-escape special
characters in the first place

Hmmm. I was afraid of that. I am still baffled as to how to go about
telling my stylesheet that the input it gets from a particular source tree
by way of the document() function that it will have already been escaped
and therefore that '&' need not be escaped again (making it
'&').
Here's the xml coming from http://example.com/collections.xml:
--------------------------
[...]
<collections>
<collection name="Art & Art History Collection" id="1"/>
<collection name="Photography Collection" id="2"/>
</collections>
----------------------------
In my stylesheet I have (this is simplified somewhat):
-----------------------------
[...]
<xsl:template match="insert-collections">
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="document('http://example.com/collections.xml')/collection"/>
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="collection">
<li><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></li>
</xsl:template>
[...]
----------------------------------------
And the output results in this xhtml:
------------------------
[...]
<ul>
<li>Art &amp; Art History Collection</li>
<li>Photography Collection</li>
</ul>
[...]
----------------------------
I DID just notice that if I generate the source collecitons list such that
"collection name" goes in the element's text node (rather than in an
attribute), I do not have the problem. But I suspect there may be other
cases (and perhaps I need to avoid them??) when I will transform
text in attributes into displayed text in my xhtml result document.
thanks!

My apologies -- it seems when I add
disable-output-escaping="yes" on the <xsl:value-of/> element,
my problem goes away. So unless that's an egregiously
improper use of DOE, I think my problem is solved.
