XPaths and Apostrophes

[Isaac Hands]

I am having trouble with the xalan-J processor when I try to specify an 
XPath that includes an apostrophe in a conditional statement as follows:

    Parent[Child='Child's Text']
I need to use this xpath in an <xsl:value-of> element to select this node as 
follows:

<xsl:value-of select="Parent[Child='Child's Text']"/>
So, naturally I thought that I could use the escaping characters for my 
embedded apostrophes like this:

<xsl:value-of select="Parent[Child='Child&apos;s Text']"/>
But, no, I get this error from the xalan-j processor:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException: 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: 
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: Expected ], but found: s
	at 
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTemplates(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:995)
	at 
org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl.newTransformer(TransformerFactoryImpl.java:799)

Apparently, the xalan processor is assuming that my escaped apostrophe is 
the end of the text string inside the conditional, which is obviously wrong. 
Can someone please shed some light on this problem ?

Thanks
