Re: Fw: Bug in SAXON (entity/character set ) ??

I wasn't SURE about the entity declaration. In Kay Michaels book I saw
examples of both. Soooo in my test bed I used both ways

<entity_test e_test1="&#8226;"  e_test2="&bullet;" />

Neither one was rendered correctly in SAXON, both rendered aas bullets using
MSXML.
