I want to be able to
create any aspect of XML documents as defined by the XML 1.0 spec without
resorting to the kludginess of disabling output escaping.
But XSL is designed to allow you to create (almost) any aspect of an XML
document _tree_ ie something for which there exists an XML document
which would parse to give the same result. It explictly doesn't give
fine level control over the serialisation. So you can't control whether
you get ' or " around attribute values, and you can't control whether
or not parts of the tree are in separate entities. (logically there is
an argument that these have the same status, even if one seems more
superficial than the other)
