I agree, and it is a significant problem. Some of us have been discussing the best advice to give content authors - something we can add to http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types

I had hoped that advice wouldn't be "DO use numeric entity references. DO NOT use named entity references." But I am guessing we will have little choice.

Toby, Mark, Shane, thanks for comments.

I think you are wrong here.  The XHTML 1.1 DTD driver relies upon the XHTML
M12N "framework" module.  That module, as its final act, by default includes
xhtml-charent-1.mod.  So as long as we are not overriding that setting, and
we are not, the charent module should be included in all xhtml family markup
languages.

Ouch, I thought I looked into xhtml-framework-1.mod, but failed to
find inclusion of xhtml-charent-1.mod there. Sorry, you're right.
XMLlint successfully validates RDFa with HTML character entities.

Ok, I'll manage to use numerical entities instead. But that's another
headache when converting from existing documents to RDFa .....
