It won't let you do it because in XML there is no such thing as a "numeric
entity". "&" signals the beginning of markup for either an entity reference or
a character reference. You've been talking about character references, not
entities.

   Entity reference: &foo;   where foo starts with a name char (letter)

Character reference: &#foo;  where foo is 1 or more digits (decimal or
                             hex), preceded by "x" if hex.
