Absolutely there is a way ... in both XSLT 1.0 and 2.0 ... this is a 
use case I tell students justifies the dangerous 
disable-output-escaping= attribute.
I say "dangerous" because it does not help when the output tree from 
the transformation is used as the input tree for a subsequent 
process.  It is only helpful when you are serializing your output 
tree into output angle-bracket syntax, and the processor you are 
using supports serialization.
I hope the example below for both XSLT 1.0 and 2.0 helps.
