RE: Accents problems in "action" attribute of a <fORM>

XSLT 1.0 requires, for the HTML output methods, that URI-valued attributes
should be escaped using the %HH notation. "URI-valued" attributes here means
attributes defined in the HTML spec as taking a URI, which includes
form/@action. The reason for this is that the HTML spec requires such
escaping.

Unfortunately browsers don't always take kindly to the escaping, especially
when the URI is interpreted on the browser (e.g. a javascript URI, or the
fragment identifier of an ordinary a/@href. 

XSLT 2.0 allows you to suppress this escaping, and Saxon has an extension
attribute on xsl:output to prevent it with XSLT 1.0.
