[xsl] Using value-of to extract non-escaped characters

---

---

Hi,

I try to write an XML doc that contains a link to a flash file. I have added my own parameter tags to the schema.

A XML parameter looks like:

<parameter>
	<name>content</name>
	<value>content</name>
</parameter>

Now I try extract the content of a <value> element. Trouble is, it contains characters that qualify for a string (in Schema), like #3333, but <xsl:value-of> refuses to work on them.

XML Spy gives me: "name must not contain that character".

My questions therefore:

Is that a behavior that is XSL-T conform or is it just XML Spy?
If the first, which way should I go if I'd like to avoid escaping the characters? If possible.

Thanks,
Ralph
