question concerning parsing entity references in xslt

[Bill Riegel <BRiegel@lgc.com>]

When writing a xslt file, Is it expected that all entity references will be replace with their string replacement

 

i.e. if the input is

<iceCream>Ben &amp; Jerry</iceCream>

 

when to do a

<xsl:value-of select="iceCream" />

 

will I get

 

Ben &amp; Jerry

Or

 

Ben & Jerry
