Yes, except that character references are not entity references.
They are not just unfamiliar thay are the first three slots in the
"Private Use Area" ie permenantly unassigned unicode characters that will
never have unicode definitions but are left blank for uses within an
application.

That's correct sorry I didn't make that clearer.

Rather than using translate explictly, if I were doing thjis I'd define
a function xsl:my:d-o-e in some namespace that took a string and
replaced < > and & as I suggested so you could just do
<xsl:value-of select="my:d-o-e(.)"/>
where you needed to this.
