I'm betting this poor soul has had to work with xml (RSS) produced from
Radio Userland or another 'major' blogging tool. Excuse the sarcasm but
I also have had to do so, if this is the case the escaped markup in that
case is escaped html and is not required to be well-formed, most tools
seem to just pass it through unquestioned, can't be done from an xsl-t
standpoint, I used tidy to turn the malformed escaped html to XHTML via
an extension function.

Maybe there should be an exsl:parse-string(), as was discussed here:
http://lists.fourthought.com/pipermail/exslt/2001-April/000080.html
(hasn't been implemented, has it?), I say this because there is quite a
lot of tools out there from the blogging domain that use this crazy
strategy of handling markup.
