If this method generates a String containing '&#XXXX;', then when doc.createTextNode() is called to insert the text into the DOM, the ampersands will be escaped to '&'.
Only on serialization. The XSLT process will see literally &#XXXX; The most common reason for double escaping is that escaped data is written as-is into a database, and escaped a second time upon reading. The immediate insertion in a DOM text node only exposes the second escaping, which would not be visible if the string was send to a browser.
