To be more precise, specifying disable-output-escaping when creating a text
node that is used to define the value of an attribute node is a recoverable
error in XSLT 1.0, the processor can either report it as an error or ignore
it. In 2.0 it's no longer an error, the processor is obliged to ignore it.
Either way, you're better off not specifying it.
