I now understand that I need to parse the text into a DOM tree, perhaps using some extension
function...

Is there any way of unescaping a "&lt;" and "&gt;" from a text() element. I'd like to
re-inject what is supposed to be xml, but is provided instead as escaped text within
document elements.


I've tried modifying the identity transform

<xsl:template match="/ | @* | * | comment() | processing-instruction() | text()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@* | * | comment() | processing-instruction() | text()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="document">
<xsl:variable name="xmlIntermediateText" select="translate(text(),'&gt;','>')"/>
<xsl:variable name="xmlText" select="translate($xmlIntermediateText,'&lt;','<')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$xmlText"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


but the processor rejects the inclusion of '<' in the second argument to translate().

Thanks in advance,
Arthur
