RE: [xsl] How to avoid XML Parsing while XSLT Transform

You might like to look at Andrew Welch's LexEv processor. This converts
entity references into nodes that are retained in the data model. However, I
don't think it can handle numeric character references - these are typically
converted to characters by the XML parser and there is no way to switch this
off.
