No, that's not it.

My XML code looks like:

(first critical part)

<parameter>
                         <name>swRemote</name>
                         <value>swSaveEnabled='true' swVolume='true' 
swRestart='true' swPausePlay='true' swFastForward='true' 
swContextMenu='true'</value>
                 </parameter>

(second critical part)

<parameter>
                         <name>bgColor</name>
                         <value>#333366</value>
</parameter>

These parameters should be transformed to

1) HTML attributes of the <embed> element (first case)
2) HTML element <param> and its attributes (second case)

What I meant was that the content of the <value> elements contains 
characters like #, = and integers. This poses no problem for validation, 
because I declared the value element to be of type "xs:string" (in the 
Schema). However, when I try to use <value-of select="value"> in my XSL-T, 
then I get the errors

"Must not contain "=" character." (in the first case)
"Must not contain # character." (in the second case)

That led me to the assumption that the <value> elements' content cannot be 
processed by XSL-T (or by XML Spy).

I wonder how to resolve this without having to escape the characters.
