Here you have the upstream's answer: ----------------- It's not clear to me that entities should be parsed here. The decription of -v is
-v or --value-of <xpath> - print value of XPATH expression The argument is an XPath expression, not an XML string representing an XPath expression. It seems to me that the older behaviour was an accident of the implementation rather than an official feature. A problem with the old behaviour would be: $ ./src/xml sel -T -t -v "'&'" Entity: line 23: parser error : xmlParseEntityRef: no name <xsl:value-of select="'&'"/> See: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3240736&group_id=66612&atid=515106 ----------------- But there is an open thread in devel upstream list where this issue can be discussed. Do you have an argument that could be made in favour interpreting entities on practical grounds? I can forward your argument/s to this list, if you want. Thanks for your collaboration! Mònica
