There's no keyword or anything that will help you here. However, you can 
achieve it with xsl:character-maps in XSLT 2.0. A while ago I explained 
something like that on the Saxon list how to do so, but that was about 
how to extend an existing doctype, I believe. In a previous post (just 
one before this) I explained how to use xsl:character-maps to do things 
not normally achieved with basic syntax.
