Jeni, you wrote:

That is because you understand what I'm saying and it is not right. I
did not pay enough attention to the question. The goose has come home to
roost.

To confirm what you say, here is a snippet of working code that I was
playing with only the other day.

  <xsl:template match='authorRequest'>
    <xsl:variable name='URL'>
      http://localhost/sql?sql=select+*+from+authors+where+au_lname=
        '<xsl:value-of select='lastName'/>'
        +for+xml+auto&amp;root=query
    </xsl:variable>

    <xsl:copy-of select="document($URL)/query/authors"/>
  </xsl:template>

This performs correctly using the .NET XSLT processor. Ampersand is
encoded in the URL using &amp; in its intended meaning.

Honk, honk! I hear the geese flying over just now. Maybe one of them was
sent by Josh, too?

Cheers,
Stuart
