RE: problem with d-o-e in attribute

It's part of the definition of d-o-e that it only works when you are
creating text nodes, not when you are creating other kinds of nodes such as
attributes.

IIRC, Saxon 6.5.3 has an extension saxon:disable-output-escaping that allows
you to d-o-e for attribute nodes.
