It sounds like you have multiple XSLs in sequence. The first one to touch the special characters turns them into properly escaped entities, but then a subsequent transform blindly escapes every ampersand it comes across.

If that is correct, then storing them as escaped sequences in the DB will not make a difference either.

In any case, I'd take a look at the transforms next.

New That's a good point
I'm pretty sure everything is going through multiple levels of transforms before getting to the final "formatting" ones that output the HTML. Hmm ... more research to do.
