I would think that you would normally get it exactly the way you want it,
unless your output method is "text". Does your stylesheet set the output
method to be "html" or "xml"?

The text node child of the 'description' element contains the unescaped
text. Usually, the output method determines how it is serialized and the
characters are re-escaped if the desired output format is HTML or XML. Or
are you using some other serialization mechanism? Producing a DOM, maybe, 
and serializing specific nodes improperly?
