Yes.  Since XML Schema begins work on the infoset of a well-formed
(perhaps valid) XML document, parsed entity definition substitution
has already taken place.  We decided a two-pass architecture was too
clunky, and arguably impossible, and concluded the best thing was to
leave XML 1.0 entities to XML 1.0 mechanisms (i.e. you can define
entities in the internal subset) .
