Having a little problem with ie not interpreting character entities as text.

Here's the xml fragment:

<RECORDSECTION docfragment="security">
<ID idtype="fpsid">30778</ID>
<RECORDITEM sqlsource="security" id="id30778">BMO.PR.F&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pfd
B ser 3 r&nbsp;cv&nbsp;Ra&nbsp;$1.3875&nbsp;pa&nbsp;Q&nbsp;<DOCUMENTREF
elemcont="Reinvestment Option" sqlsource="securitynote">Reinvestment
Option</DOCUMENTREF></RECORDITEM>
</RECORDSECTION>

Heres the xslfo fragment:

<xsl:template match="RECORD [@fragid='17']//RECORDSECTION [@docfragment =
'security']">
  <fo:block margin-left="6pt" space-before="4pt">
    <xsl:for-each select="RECORDITEM">
      <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="DOCUMENTREF"/> 
    </xsl:for-each>
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Here's roughly the output (using fop 0.20.4):

BMO.PR.F   pfd B ser 3 r cv Ra $1.3875 pa Q *  --(DOCUMENTREF template
produces the "*" and is linked to a footnote)  --

However when I open the same xml fragment with this xsl:

<xsl:template match="RECORD [@fragid='17']//RECORDSECTION [@docfragment =
'security']">
  <xsl:for-each select="RECORDITEM">
    <xsl:value-of select="text()"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="DOCUMENTREF"/>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

I get the following result (in ie 6.0):

BMO.PR.F

The entity &nbsp; is not treated as text? and so I lose all the text after
the first entity reference. I have the entity mapped to &#x00A0; in
iso_num.ent.

Which one is right? and how do I get ie to print all the text including
entities without printing the value of element DOCUMENTREF?

Thanks in advance,

Dan
