Yes or no.
XML character data is _always_ _character_ data so those codepoints
that XML (inheriting from unicode) deems not to be a character, you can
not use directly, or via a numeric reference such as �
However all is not lost. You could just print out a `character'
(probably ascii) representation of what you want, and then post process.
You could use any encoding that you wanted, for example the
quoted-printable mime encoding used for email which is something like
=HexValueOfCharacter
and == if you need an = character.
then you just mime decode your XSL output (or run it through sed;-)

Yes, and that is what you need above, eg you can get E into the
output tree fairly easily:-) You can't get a random byte into
the output tree though.
