Or something similar. I have to admit, I once advised a colleague to
use the hack
 $ perl -pe 's,&,@,g;' < input.xml > temp.xml
 $ xslt style.xslt temp.xml | perl -pe 's,@,&,g;' > output.xml
But here I had the advantage of knowing the data very well -- I knew
that the character "@" never occured, that "&" never occured except
in its markup role, and that there was no markup in the replacement
text of any named entities.
