how xsltc treats special xml character in style sheet?

[Chunsheng Chen]

Hi,
XALAN and XSLTC seems to treat xml special character differently.

the following scriplet
<a>
      <xsl:attribute
name="href">javascript:addToMyCustomer(&amp;quot;10000&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;&
amp;quot;)</xsl:attribute>
</a>

produces the following output in XSLTC:
(O1)    <a
href="javascript:addToMyCustomer(&amp;quot;10000&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;&amp;qu
ot;)"></a>
and a different output in XALAN:
(O2)    <a
href="javascript:addToMyCustomer(&quot;10000&quot;,&quot;&quot;)"></a>
while (O2) is the ideal output that we want.

XSLTC provides better performance over XALAN on many style sheets that we
are using for the application, but the above problem becomes a major
obstacle for us. Without massive rewriting hundreds of stylesheet, is there
any other way to make XSLTC to produce output (O2)? Since XSLTC is JAXP
compliant, I have tried different xml parser implementation, but none of
them worked for us.

Your help is appreciated,

Thanks,
