Since entity expansion is done by the XML parser before the XSLT processor
gets any sight of the data, the only possible way you could stop it
happening would be at the XML parser level.
In practice the pragmatic solution is to preprocess entity references (at
the level of a text file, e.g. using Perl) to change &abc; to something like
#abc; where # is some sufficiently-rare character, and hten to postprocess
the transformation result to change it back.

I am asking this question assuming that
saxon:character-representation can solve this problem. Is my
assumption correct?
Or is this problem not possible to solve using XSLT (2.0) ? I
want to give other techniques (like DOM) as a final try if
it's not achievable using XSLT.
