Unparsed entity reference in entity value?

Hi!

I have a question concerning the XML specification; I found a testsuite for
XML and one of the files was following:

<!DOCTYPE doc [
<!ELEMENT doc (#PCDATA)>
<!ENTITY e "<![CDATA[&foo;]]>">
]>
<doc>&e;</doc>

According to the testsuite this should be a valid XML document. But if I
look at the table in the XML specification on how entity references should
be parsed, it should be forbidden (Entity Type: Unparsed and Reference in
Entity Value).

What am I missing?

Thanks, Rainer.
