there are so few words in the early slides that it's hard to be sure but it seems pretty confusing. firstly it's about entity handling but doesn't mention dtds (the only place any entities other han the 5 predefined entities can be defined) secondly it calls " etc illegal characters which is not standard terminoligy and misleading as apart from < and & most of them are perfectly fine as character data and don't need to be escaped in any way. I can't understand stage (2) on slide 4 where <xsl:text> is still <xsl:text> but the quoting on <author> has gone. same issue on slide 5 slide 7 appears to be suggesting using D-O-E which is always bad advice as it's explictly non-portable and deprecated. _especially_ in a browser where it doesn't workk in firefox for example as firefox never serialises the result document. If you want to generate <author></author> in the result the advice should be to use <author></author> in the stylesheet, not to use <author></author> and then try to disable the escaping.
