RE:  Transforming double quotes
> You need to escape your quotes. 

In the stylesheet, as in any XML document, the following are 100%
equivalent:

<x>"</x>

<x>&quot;</x>

<x><![CDATA["]]></x>

Therefore please do not imagine that using one of these input forms in
preference to another will affect the output of the stylesheet in any way.
