If you're using JDK 1.4, it is likely using Xalan. You can confirm this by typing:
java org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process
and seeing if anything happens (this should invoke the command line XSLT
processor).
I can confirm that Xalan will do this with output method html, but only to
attributes it recognizes as URLs; i.e., if you pass in a document:
<html>
<a href="http://foo/stuff&more">test</a>
<foo href="http://foo/stuff&more">test</foo>
</html>
you get:
<html>
<a href="http://foo/stuff&more">test</a>
<foo href="http://foo/stuff&more">test</foo>
</html>
I don't know if this is conformant to the XSLT spec or not; I suspect this is
done to accommodate browsers that don't convert & --> & when
parsing the URL maybe?
In any case, you could force output method xml with:
<xsl:output method="xml"/>
which will cause it to output as &. Of course, it will also output
well-formed XML rather than HTML, which may cause a bunch of other issues.

I know Xalan does, and it appears to work properly with the Ant style
task (using Ant 1.6.1, results may vary for older versions):
<style style="test.xsl" in="test.xml" out="testout.xml">
<param name="myparam" expression="myvalue"/>
</style>
Then just declare "myparam" in the stylesheet:
<xsl:param name="myparam" select="''"/>
and use it later:
<xsl:value-of select="$myparam"/>
What behavior are you seeing? Do you get an error, or just no value output?
