RE: MSXML and unwanted entity output

So how can I get a bit of javascript that is full of &&'s and <'s to
output 
as &&'s and <'s

Do I have to use something like (Example fromn FAQ) for every instance of
these characters in the Javascript?:
<xsl:value-of select="'&lt;BR/&gt;'" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
