You are right that when the source XML contains XML carefully disguised
as character data, d-o-e is the only way of getting it out as XML. Most
of us would probably argue that your XML file is badly designed, but
perhaps you weren't responsible for it.

d-o-e actually bypasses the result tree and puts things directly in the
serialized output stream.

You want <xsl:value-of select="@label" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
