This is a FAQ. 

An XSLT transformation parses your source XML, creates a tree representation
of the source, transforms it, and then serializes the result tree. Lexical
details of the source XML, for example whether attributes use single quotes
or double quotes, are lost in this process. The difference between
<![CDATA[&&]]> and &amp;&amp; is one of these lexical details.

You would want the test "contains(., '&amp;')" to work regardless how the
ampersand was written in the source, surely?
