I don't think its fair to blame XSL for all this. It is going with the flow of things like SAX and DOM, which do not provide access to entities. For XSLT to do otherwise would be to place a much bigger burden on the implementors.
I really don't have a bit stake in this issue, but ...
Is it better to put the burden on the users or the implementers?
This is but one of many real-word issues that has been encountered now that XML/XSL/XPath/etc has gone "live". If there isn't a committment to meet real-world needs, what are we all on about?
