Re: [xsl] SSI echo as an attribute value

["tom tom" <tomxsllist@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I lied - it doesn't work either way when the attribute is href. It seems to 
be fine when the attribute is not href doing it either way. I am using saxon 
8. Here is my full stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY  start-comment "&#xE501;">
<!ENTITY  end-comment "&#xE502;">
]>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; 
version="2.0">
   <xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8" indent="no"
       use-character-maps="comment-delimiters"/>
   <xsl:character-map name="comment-delimiters">
       <xsl:output-character character="&start-comment;" string="&lt;!--"/>
       <xsl:output-character character="&end-comment;" string="--&gt;"/>
   </xsl:character-map>
   <xsl:template match="/">
       <a href="&start-comment;ddd&end-comment;" 
hreuf="&start-comment;ddd&end-comment;">
           &start-comment;dffffdd&end-comment;  </a>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The hreuf attribute comes out as intended, the href attribute comes out as 
%EE%94%81ddd%EE%94%82.

Any ideas?
