Re: [xsl] Entity inside an attribute

[Syd Bauman <Syd_Bauman@xxxxxxxxx>]

The "<" character is not allowed to occur unescaped in an attribute
value. That's just a hard-and-fast rule of XML. (See
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/ production #10.)

The "<" character is escaped by using "&lt;", &#x3C;, or &#60;.
