As usual, the easiest recourse here is to use DOE (this is what it's
designed for):

<xsl:template match="description">
  <xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</xsl:template>

Or complain to the feed until they give you XML rather than this
hybrid. Or do a text-level pre-process that unescapes all the relevant
characters in the <description> element, so that you can then process
the content with XSLT.

Cheers,

Jeni
