I'm not sure what you are trying to say... Do you still edit your XML files with a plain text editor?
Yes, xml files are 'plain text', unicode to be precise
Yes, I use vim on linux and BBedit on the Mac. It would be nice to have something that allowed an entity to be entered with a single key stroke, but full featured XML editors (such as Arbortext Epic) are exceedingly expensive. emacs is a better bet, but I am unlikley to switch from vim.
I am trying to say that the &#number; is available even if you have not set up any entities.

Duh? You can get the HTML entity definitions from the W3C and roll your own DTD fragment. The DocBook DTD (http://www.docbook.org) has also an extensive collection.
The line I gave there is not HTML.
What I don't know, and the bit you snipped was how to include an internal subset in an XML file when there is no DTD. I realise that I will have to look up the definitions that I decide I need.
I personally abandoned dealing with entities representing character references after I managed to configure Emacs to do the hard work for me.
Yes. That is a good way of doing things.
Ben.
