The Xpath data model on which XSLt operates does not have a node
representing entities. All entities  are expanded by teh XML parser
before XSLT starts, and XSLT can not generate entities on outpu.

If your processor supports disable-output-scaping it is possible to
generate the string &middot; but its usually inadvisable to use
disable-output-scaping.

Why do you need the entity written out as an entity and not as character
data?

David
