Note Submitter: contact at paulchaplin dot com ---- The previous note from "mishagale at fastmail dot fm" is incorrect. He or she is confusing defined (named) entities (e.g. &apos;) and decimal or hexadecimal Unicode codepoint references. The latter are called Numeric Character References and, in most cases, may legitimately be converted to their corresponding Unicode character directly in the XML. The exceptions are good old control characters and, obviously, < & ' > when these would appear in a context with special meaning in XML. Reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#charsets
