Michael,
thank you for this clear explanation. Now i`m sure I haven't overlooked something. And I can live without this feature. After all, it's a very special use case.

Januar 2010 23:14 An: j-users@xerces.apache.org Betreff: Re: How to retain Entity References in Attribute Nodes while parsing ? This feature has no effect for attributes. Xerces-J always expands entity references in attribute values. Since XNI doesn't report entity boundaries in attribute values it's unlikely to ever be supported. The infrastructure isn't there. This was a conscious decision [1]. Thanks.
