You're very welcome to raise enhancement requests for future XSLT releases; the best way to do it is via the public Bugzilla database at http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/query.cgi Use Product=XPath/XQuery/XSLT, Component=XSLT 2.1. Be aware that it might be many months before you get a response, and that the response might be negative! I've got a great deal of sympathy with what you are trying to do here - the requirement to preserve entities over a transformation is a very real one. However, the way you are currently doing it is a kludgey workaround, and the WG certainly wouldn't entertain adopting this approach. In my view, if it's going to be done, then it has to be done properly, and that means adding concepts like entities and CDATA sections to the XDM model. In turn, I suspect that the WG may well feel this is too big a task to justify the benefits. Of course, one way you can counter arguments about the effort being too great is to put in the effort yourself: a detailed and well-reasoned proposal at the language level will help to convince people of the feasibility.
