Hi HolgeR,
The new behavior is correct. Xalan 1.3 was in error:

Dear all,
I played around with Xalan-C 1.4 and found one difference to 1.3.
Entites in generated URLs were not decoded in the output.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<a href="&test">test</a>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Xalan-C 1.3 says:
<a href="&test">test</a>
Xalan-C 1.4:
<a href="&test">test</a>
Normally I would say 1.4 is doing wrong, but I am not sure... Any other
opinions?
HolgeR
