Title: Parsing without resolving entities

If I have data with character entities such as &sect; or &mdash; in the XML, what is the best way to keep those intact, as is, after a parse.  Are there any parsers that have an option not to resolve entities?  What is the best way you've found to deal with this issue?  Do you escape the ampersands (e.g. &amp;sect;) in a pre-process?  Do you address it in an entity handler to re-write the original entity text?  This seems like a real pain that must have a common solution.

Thanks!
