The xlink:form attribute is very old; it disappeared from the design of
XLink quite a while ago. The new equivalent is xlink:type. You can find
the latest draft (a Candidate Recommendation) at http://www.w3.org/TR/xlink.

It sounds like you are attempting to implement XLink through the use of
XSL/XSLT, which is a reasonable approach. However, your questions fall
into the "XSL/XSLT" category, so at the moment you're probably better off
posting your questions on an XSL-focused list
(http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/xsl.html#discussion).

The old common SGML entity was . You might try www.unicode.org to
see what character number might correspond to this concept, and then
declare the entity as such.
