special characters decimal code display

Hi,

This is part of my xml file. As you can see that, all the special
characters are encoded using their decimal codes. But when I output them
in the stylesheet using <xsl:value-of select="."/>, all special characters
are converted to their entity format. For example, &#60; is converted to
&lt;, &#62 is converted to &gt;, etc. But what I need is to convert
"&#60;sup&#62;&#38;plusmn&#59;&#60;&#47;sup&#62;" to "<sup>&plusmn;</sup>"
so the stylesheet can display them correctly. Can anyone help on this
issue? Many thanks. -Ming
