The XSLT processing has three stages: parsing, transformation, and
serialization.
Entities are expanded during the parsing stage, so at the transformation
stage it doesn't matter whether you wrote " or ", they are exactly
equivalent.
At the serialization stage the serializer must generate well-formed XML. It
could output either " or " : it can choose either as they are exactly
equivalent. The serializer is very unlikely to be influenced by what the
original input looked like.
