The AddressModifyCode works on the raw data.  As for using
"&#046;" is address obfuscation, it is a very weak form since any
decent address harvester would expand entity references before
doing detection.  Why not use something like:

  <AddressModifyCode>
  s/\./ dot /g;
  s/\@/ AT /g;
  </AddressModifyCode>
