XSLT is pretty much guaranteed to produce well formed output unless you
use character maps or disable output escaping in which case it is your
responsibility, just not using character maps at all here would seem to
do the right thing, no?

your sample ouput shows  /> so you have used the xml or xhtml output
methods neither of which will make output suitable for IE (or suitable
for any browser if you serve it as text/html) if you use teh html output
method, xslt will use special case serialisation rules to get quoting
right for html. In particular it knows that script is a CDATA element in
html so will not use &.. quoting inside script in html (but does in
xhtml or xml output)
