Hello James, the information is being in the first place from a html form gathered and saved in a file. so I know there would be no entity reference in the xml file and it would be easier if it is possible to tell the parser not to expect an entity reference otherweise each input in the form musst be filtered. (something similar to #CDATA in DTD's).
