 HTML specifies that URLs appearing in attribute values such as "href" should be escaped this way. However, it is known that browsers don't always support this when the URLs are interpreted client-side. For this reason XSLT 2.0 allows you to suppress this escaping with the xsl:output parameter escape-uri-attributes="no". Michael Kay (apologies in advance if this goes out multiple times.
