Re: [xsl] parser error with CDATA string '&a'

Hi Ken,

> When you say it doesn't work, in what way does it not work?

I try to transform it with an xsl-sheet that copies its most part into a new 
document and makes changes on just some few nodes. And that doesn't work 
because Saxon throws the error reported.
I must not change &a to & within the uri because the server won't be 
able no more to fetch the GET parameter "a" from the uri. It's not my 
server.
Isn't it really possible to copy the string as CDATA?

After copying the content into a new document (what doesn't work yet) I want 
to use the <url_download> to dynamically generate links with its CDATA. One 
solution to th '&a' problem would be using the function fn:encode-for-uri 
(XSLT 2.0) which will transform back the &amp;a to &a. Unfortunately it is 
not possible because the libxst-processor that is included in PHP and that I 
must use for 'XSLT on the fly' only supports XSLT 1.0. That's why I must not 
change &a to &amp;

Thx
Werner
