You could bypass the entity reference and xsl:text problem by using
XInclude [1][2], e.g.:

   <xi:include href="god-save-the-queen.xml"
       xmlns:xi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>

When transforming your XML to something else, you'd use '--xinclude' on
the xsltproc command line (or just add a template to your stylesheet that
does the right thing for <xi:include>).
