ampersand in html

You can't (not in standard XSLT 1.0, there is a Saxon extension that allows
it).

That's not correct HTML. The correct HTML is

<a href="something.jsp?fetch=reset&amp;anythingelse=something">...</a>

It should be escaped: see the HTML specification. Many HTML authors fail to
escape the ampersand, and browsers tolerate this, but it's wrong.
