Sorry, this was poorly worded. I should have said, why can't they be
preserved. Of course they can be accessed via the unparsed-entity-uri
function, but I have no easy way to recreate them in the output document
without a hack like disable output escaping. In my opinion, this makes
XSLT poorly suited for near-identity XML transformations.
