I'm not sure how I can make it more clear without imposing undue

I'd suggest to take a similar approach as HTML5:
The language in this specification assumes that the user agent expands
all entity references, and therefore does not include entity reference
nodes in the DOM. If user agents do include entity reference nodes in
the DOM, then user agents must handle them as if they were fully
expanded when implementing this specification. For example, if a
requirement talks about an element's child text nodes, then any text
nodes that are children of an entity reference that is a child of that
element would be used as well.
