RE: [xsl] Netscape Navigator not displaying emdash

[Dylan Walsh <Dylan.Walsh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a different suggestion from the others: Use the XML output mode in
your stylesheet. Seen as
the HTML output mode is the one that replaces &#x2014 with —, this
should not happen in XML mode.

You'll be generating a sort of XHTML (really it is just well-formed HTML).
There are some compatibility tricks on the W3C site for older browsers e.g.
putting a space in empty tags e.g. "<br />" instead of "<br/>".
