I expect that this is one of the questions that Simon will be asking :-) I think when I started I had assumed that we might wish to argue for your example. It might then get translated automatically into: <!ENTITY greetings.content "#PCDATA"> <!ELEMENT greetings (&greetings.content)> Whereupon the parser takes over. I had simply suggested that the parser could operate at an earlier stage. I expect that Simon will guide us through this :-) and I would expect a question like: "Do we wish to define entities in an XSchema?" P.
