You should avoid all named entities in XHTML, except quot, amp, lt, gt.
For all other characters use unicode encoding or numeric unicode entity reference.
Then why does the W3 use it in their example?
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/ section c12
It is valid for text/html (aka tagsoup). If you serve the document as application/xhtml+xml, then the browser should ignore named entities except the 5 ones (quot, amp, lt, gt and apos).
