Right, I'm using the built-in identity-tranformation support...I'm pretty much just performing SAX serialization as recommended in the Xerces FAQ
http://xerces.apache.org/xerces2-j/faq-general.html#faq-6 I realized an easy answer to my third question which is to invert the use of quotes to <!ENTITY wan-gw "<systemitem class='systemname'>wan-gw</systemitem>" > Which is okay to hack my way forward for the moment, but not a solution for handling xml out of my control. Now I get errors like White space is required after "<!ENTITY" in the entity declaration. Because the external DTD has <!ENTITY % dbnotn SYSTEM "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/configerror.txt";> and the serialization turns it into: <!ENTITY %dbnotn PUBLIC "-//OASIS//ENTITIES DocBook Notations V4.2//EN" > I don't know if this could be one of the bugs you're alluding to, or if my ignorance of the fine points of entities is leading me to misunderstand. I'm going to see if I have any better luck with the gnu XmlWriter class.
