Re: Entity and Entity Reference

[Joseph_Kesselman]

Remember that the DOM's view of the text is _after_ character references
have been expanded -- if you put & in a DOM Text node, that's the same
thing as & in the XML file. To write an Entity Reference, you must use
an Entity Reference Node that refers to an existing Entity definition --
and note that as of DOM Level 2 there is no portable way to
programmatically create Entity definitions. (DOM Level 3 is expected to
close that gap, as part of the Abstract Schema work.)
