With Xalan, you can use the xalan:entities extension attribute on the
xsl:output element. To completely disable output of entity references,
create an empty file and let the attribute value point to that file:
<xsl:output encoding="UTF-8"
xalan:entities="somefile"/>
See http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/usagepatterns.html#outputprops.
