Ah, right. And it is even recommendation now... :-) I use libxslt 1.1.17
with mod_xslt, so whatever capabilities they have. I assume that means
XSLT 1.

Right. I can do that pretty easily. I allready tried to use CDATA around
the whole HTML string, but that would escape the whole string. And
various combinations of cdata-section-elements and
disable-output-escaping. But I'm not grokking too much.
Then I put a CDATA around just the character entities. And tried the
&, but how would I then go about to translate it back?
Or should I go with a template approach, where I go into the XHTML
fragment and do an value-of with disable output escaping?
Cheers,
