Wrong definitions for predefined entities lt and amp in XML source for docs





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2002-12-11 00:38 -------
This is what I thought in the first place, but ... by examining the XML 
recommandation (Second Edition), it seems that there is only a well-formedness 
error when not-well-formed entities are referenced.
There is no such well-formedness constraint for the entity definition itself.

For an example, see the note at the end of the chapter "2.3 Common Syntactic 
Constructs"
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-common-syn

In this special case, thoses entities never get referenced since they are 
predefined within the parser! They cannot be redefined, for example:
<!ENTITY lt "some very stupid text">
does not change the text produced by the parser.

My humble opinion, is that the Xerces parser does the right thing, others (e.g. 
msxml) are wrong.
The docs need a change anyway.
