Is there a way to translate entities into their character equivalents?

["Steve Carton" <scarton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to cheat in my style sheet and do something like this:

<xsl:if test="blahblahblah">&lt;a href="go away"&gt;</xsl:if>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
&lt;/a&gt;

My real world case is much more complex, but is there a way to 
have the HTML generated for this contain the <> symbols instead of 
the entities?
