How to disable output escaping inside attribute values

Hi,
	is there any possibility to disable output escaping inside attribute values?
I would love to output some hard spaces (and maybe some other escape characters) in dynamic output.

Fragment of my generated XML is:
<Location>
	<Company_name>My&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Company</Company_name>
</Location>

Desired HTML output is:
	<INPUT type="text" value="My&nbsp;&nbsp;Company"/>

I have already tried
	<INPUT type="text" value="{/Location/Company_name}"/>
and
	<xsl:variable name="pom"><xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping = "yes" select="/Location/Company_name"/></xsl:variable>	<INPUT type="text" value="{$pom}"/>

but I always get:
	 <INPUT type="text" value="My&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Company"/>

I will appreciate any suggestion or workaround. 

Maros.
