Found a complete entity chart at http://www.bbsinc.com/symbol.html.

{ = {
} = }

Can you just wrap the function in CDATA to get it through the
transformation or is that the obviously *wrong* answer?

I'm just getting into XSL myself and after a quick glance, all I could find
about braces are that you surround an XPath expression with them. I'd
definitely be interested in hearing about a strictly XSL solution, as
opposed to entity substitution, if you come up with something.

HTH!
