MSXML and unwanted entity output

Hi there,

I am using the MSXML parser. 
I am not sure if I am outpuitting to a byte stream or a character stream.
Maybe that is the problem as even if I use 
<xsl:output encoding="iso-8859-1"/>

<![CDATA[&&]]>
Will out put as an entity:
&amp;&amp;

or
<![CDATA[&&]]>
Will out put as an entity:
&lt;

Does this look like a problem in the output type, or is there a way I can
alter the XSLT so that I can get 
the HTML returned as the same stuff I put in i.e. 
&& or <
?

(By the way I have posted to the list in the past about an issue with
multiple Question marks showing 
up in the code. I never found out what was the input character (Probably
in the XML) causing that. Possibly 
the same problem?

Regards,
arc.
