Thanks David, I guess you already helped me one time.. :) The problem with post-processing is that one can not make use of the powerful navigational possibilities of xslt. The whole processing must take place in a flat/ non-hierachical way. I.e. when the refs should only be replaced wihtin one element, it gets tricky, although everything is possible with sed/regexp etc. One could ask "Why not just go over to the "real" characters instead of the numerical refs?" Numerical refs make sense where text content goes through several systems with different char treating. With the numerical ref, it is always clear what char it should be. I suggest to consider a setting/property for XML Parsers that allows to not expand numerical refs. Would this make any sense or is this feature too exotic to consider?
