unescape html from xquery

Hi all,

I have a problem where in my xquery following variable contains escaped html
content.  Is there a way that Sedna allows to disable output escaping for a
specific tag?

let $symbol := $det/ConditionSpecification/HTML/text()

The output I am currently seeing in browser output is U<sub>dc</sub>  instead
of  Udc

Kind regards,
