Created an attachment (id=141691)

test file for running xslt on an element containing #160

Using XSLTProcessor to process an html element that contains the numeric reference "& # 1 6 0 ;" causes the XSLT processor to return null rather than a node.

I suspect (but don't really have the tools to confirm) that the XSLT engine is being passed a serialisation using " & n b s p ;" which is then failing to parse as XML as the entity is not defined in that context.

To reproduce, load attached html page and click on "run xslt" button. If XSLT runs, then the text of the following paragraph changes to "Good". If it does not run then it changes to "Bad".
