  Using IE 6 abd the xsl stylesheet except is as follows:

  <a class="glossary"><xsl:attribute
name="href">glossary.asp?uid=<xsl:value-of select="ID"/><xsl:text>&amp  ;</xsl:text>lid=<xsl:value-of select="PARENTID"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of 
  ect="NAME" /></a>

That looks fine (assuming that is really select="NAME not ect="NAME",
and that you haven't really got space between the amp and the ";".
although it could be coded much more simply as 


<a class="glossary" href="glossary.asp?uid={ID}&amp;lid={PARENTID}">
  <xsl:value-of select="NAME" /></a>

Your problem may be nothing to do with the amp at all, are you sure that
ID, PARENTID, and NAME are returning the values that you expect?

when debugging it is important to look at the generated html file
directly, not just look at the rendering of the file in a browser,
which can hide many errors.
