The quote "A > text node comes from a sequence of one or more consecutive character > information items" suggests that any information item which interrupts > the "consecutive" sequence will effectively delimit text nodes. > If the entity reference isn't expanded, you couldn't know if it would be character information items when expanded - it might contain markup, who knows? So a processor couldn't just treat it as character information items. It seems that the reference must delimit text nodes, as you suggest. Cheers, Tom P
