Re: The entity was referenced, but not declared.

Hello XSL-List,

If the source files in question contain HTML named entities there is a fair
chance they also have a DOCTYPE declaration, and depending on what that is,
it might be possible to use it to provide a set of entity declarations to
the parser as a kind of "DTD stub", enabling the parse.

But I like the idea of using an HTML parse first to normalize. Not only is
there DC's XSLT Tag Soup parser as Martin mentioned, there are also not a
few libraries with Tag Soup parsers. Resolving the entities can be
considered as a discrete preparation process (i.e. a 'process').

Cheers, Wendell
