Re: Yet Another Entity Ref question!

Using the encoding "ascii" or "us-ascii" it works!
I get as output:
Foobar©
While with encoding "ISO-8859-1" (my standard encoding) do not.
However ... [you're thinking that I'm really pedantic ;)] ...
I insist the solution whitout the entity map (or dictionary) since this
introduce a time-consuming xpath query (I should store in an already big
XML a
tag set representig the entities map and than query it in the XSL doc
through a XPath query).
So I think that instead of a dictionary of entities it is possible to
include all the entity in DTD; e.g.:
<!ENTITY copy "&#169;">
and to eliminate element "entity" so that the user can write direclty
<label>Foobar&copy;</label>
or more generally:
<label>Foobar&ent;</label>
avoiding the Xpath query.

But I ask to myself (and to you): "Does it exist a method of outputting &
in resulting doc without using d-o-e, so that I can use my originally
solution?"
Yes I know, I'm asking for outputting a non-well-formed XML doc!!
Yes probably, to use original solution, the only way is using d-o-e in
xsl:text and xsl:value-of.
