As has been pointed out, the definition of "reference in DTD" in section 4.4 explicitly excludes the case where it is in an entity value, which is another row of the table. The history of this is that the authors of the XML spec wanted a simple way to constrain PE substitution (outside strings) to whole tokens; at one point every DTD production had amazingly hairy annotations indicating where PEs could occur. The "add a space each side" rule was intended to be a simple way to provide that constraint. -- Richard -- Spam filter: to mail me from a .com/.net site, put my surname in the headers.
