If you're not producing XML, then you should set your output to text:

  <xsl:output method="text" />

and generate your output as a plain string, e.g.:

  &lt;XACT>
  &lt;XT><xsl:value-of select="XT" />
  &lt;XID><xsl:value-of select="XID" />
  &lt;KEY>
  ...

That way you don't need to use disable-output-escaping because the
output you're producing (plain text) is never escaped anyway.

I hope that helps,

Jeni
