XML-Entities in (Xalan-C 1.4)

[Holger Floerke]

Dear all,

I played around with Xalan-C 1.4 and found one difference to 1.3. Entites in generated URLs were not decoded in the output.

Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<a href="&amp;test">test</a>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Xalan-C 1.3 says:
<a href="&test">test</a>

Xalan-C 1.4:
<a href="&amp;test">test</a>

Normally I would say 1.4 is doing wrong, but I am not sure... Any other opinions?
