Why does validation fail with named ENTITIES and succeed with character entities? See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#intern-replacement, it says "The literal entity value as given in an internal entity declaration (EntityValue) may contain character, parameter-entity, and general-entity references. Such references MUST be contained entirely within the literal entity value. The actual replacement text that is included ... MUST contain the character referred to, in place of any character references in the literal entity value". -- Martin Honnen --- MVP Data Platform Development http://msmvps.com/blogs/martin_honnen/
