[Bug xml/28572] New: XML entities in JAXP transform output

[matthew at linuxfromscratch dot org]

I get <, >, and & entities in the output of my JAXP transformation
when I'm expecting them to be '<', '>' and '&' respectively.  xsl:output mode
is 'text'.  I'll attach the xml and xsl files and a small Java program that
triggers the problem.  I must admit to being slightly confused as to what the
correct behaviour is, according to the XSLT spec.  One can't use
'disable-output-escaping="yes"' as that should be ignored when outputting in
text mode.  So, how else is one supposed to get a '<' character in a file
output via an XSLT transformation?  FWIW xsltproc (from libxslt) and Xalan both
output the characters as I would expect them.
