Passing XHTML entities through a transform

[Creighton Kirkendall <ckirkendall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a problem.  I am trying to transform one xhtml document into
another for presentation reasons.  I cannot for the life of me figure
out how to do the transform so that it preserves the character entities
intact without translating them their binary form.  Is there a way to do
this.
