Then you are using a processor (or serializer) that doesn't support
disable-output-escaping. Not all do, it's an optional feature, and a
somewhat deprecated one. Switch processor, or use one of the other
solutions.

(Incidentally, of course, I left out the "#" that's required in the output,
you want "&#65;".
