Jason, I came across this problem recently... Unless you use the nodeValue property, the returned node will be escaped when converted to string (and no,"unescape" doesn't help a bit...). It's not a full url-encoding that you get with the escape() function, but ampersands and html tags will be converted to entities such as &. Now I haven't used xpath, so I don't know if it implements nodeValue, but even if it doesn't, there's got to be a way of extracting it.
