Thanks for your input. I will try this out.

transforming one XML file to another XML format?

The XSLT/XPath data model does not preserve/store any entity references.

There is however http://andrewjwelch.com/lexev/ which you can run your XML
through before the XSLT processor processes it and that way you can get
elements like <lexev:entity name="mdash">—</lexev:entity> for entity
references you can then process with templates. Using a character map you
should then be able to ensure that you transform the entity references to
character references.
