Michael thanks again for your quick answers.

Do you know if I can use that property in <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>??

Regards,

There are ways of generating invalid HTML if you really need to, which it
seems you do.

In Saxon 6.x there is an extension saxon:disable-output-escaping on
xsl:attribute

In Saxon 8.x you can use character maps: assign some private use character
to the meaning "unescaped ampersand", and map it to an ampersand as the
output string.

Please also raise a bug report with the supplier of this broken browser.
