OK. If I have a snippet of XML like: ... <somedata> <somecell>&ITEM</somecell> <somecell>&ITEM</somecell> <somecell><ITEM</somecell> </somedata>
When I get all the way through to the PDF via FOP, the only entity that is translated is the ampersand in the second cell, i.e.: &ITEM &ITEM <ITEM No errors or warnings. Am I doing something wrong somewhere from XML to PDF?

I suspect you construct a DOM or JDOM tree or something similar and call this "the XML". This is not correct, the XML syntax rules apply only to documents, i.e. stuff read from files or network connections. If you construct a DOM, you can use ampersands and less-than signs without escaping, and for arbitrary Unicode characters use Java Unicode escapes, like \00A0 for a nbsp. Check the Java lang doc for more details.
