Re: [xsl] How to unescape slash character using xml-to-json ?

Note: the reason that solidus is escaped by default is because the JSON can 
then be embedded in an HTML5 script tag. See explanation here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1580647/json-why-are-forward-slashes-escaped

There was considerable debate about this decision, as you can imagine: it's one 
that suits some use cases and not others.
