Thanks for the precision and the pointer ;-) Now I know better, and will try to call it a Character Reference (&#...;) as opposed to an Entity Reference (&...;). I'd like to say I've read (and understood) the XML spec, but I've never had the courage to do so. A relevant link is always appreciated for matters such as below.
BTW, is there somewhere (online or book) an annotated spec analogous to the Annotated C++ Reference Manual, but for XML? Something more digestible than the spec...

I'd assume it does. --DD See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#dt-charref &#x...; is hex only, &#...; is decimal. There is no way to enter octal values. The semicolon is mandatory, of course.
