RE:  Putting apostrophes around a string
I prefer to do this with variables:

<xsl:variable name="apos">'</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($apos, 'Entering state: ',$sname, $apos)" />

Or of course you can do

<xsl:text>'Entering state: </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$sname" />
<xsl:text>'</xsl:text>
