Re: [xsl] Retaining Entity refrence names in Output

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

No, XML entities are expanded by an XML parser, so XSLT never sees the
entity reference it has already been replaced by its replacement text
and the numeric character references have already been replaced by the
referenced characters, before XSLT sees its input tree.

However your definition of combo looks rather starnge (unless it was
mangled by your mailer) with the numeric references double escaped:
& a m p ; # x 2 1 9 9 ;
rather than
& # x 2 1 9 9 ;
