[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#423937: xsltproc: disable-output-escaping fails to work in stylesheet

[Ben Stewart]

Package: xsltproc
Version: 1.1.20-1
Severity: normal

xsltproc fails to comply with the disable-output-escaping attribute
as applied to <xsl:attribute> and <xsl:text> tags.

This is a regression, as earlier versions of xsltproc correctly parsed
the following:

...
  <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&eacute;</xsl:text>
...

The current release complains about eacute being an unknown entity, as
would be expected if disable-output-escaping was not enabled.

Usage of &amp; in place of the & (with disable-output-escaping still
in place) fails to produce the expected output of &eacute; in the
target document.

The start of the XSL template showing the defect is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"
      doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
      doctype-system="DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"/>
	  
     <xsl:template match="/">
      ...
     </xsl:template>
<xsl:stylesheet>
