Alice,
It sounds like your user interface is one where the user types in an URL string. You could offer additional fields if they need to enter multiple name/value pairs (the only reason for an ampersand to appear in an URL). Then your xsl could construct the final URL, adding the '?' if any name/value pairs exist, and then outputting them with your own '&' and '=' characters placed between them. Sample XML (constructed from text fields):
<userURL>
<baseURL>http://www.someplace.com/dir/page.htm</baseURL>
<pair>
<name>arg1</name>
<value>value1</value>
</pair>
<pair>
<name>arg2</name>
<value>value2</value>
</pair>
<pair>
<name>arg3</name>
<value>value3</value>
</pair>
</userURL>Relevant XSL:
<xsl:template match="userURL">
<xsl:value-of select="baseURL"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="pair"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="pair">
<xsl:if test="position() = 1">
<xsl:text>?</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="name" />
<xsl:text>=</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="value" />
<xsl:if test="position() != last()">
<xsl:text>&</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
