The following hack might help you to work around the problem. Redefine the
character entity so that it refers to a numeric character entity. In other
words, make your XML look something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html [
<!ENTITY uuml "ü">
]>
I have found that, in general, numeric character entity references survive
repeated processing better than do the HTML named references.
