Section 8.2.3.1 "Tokenising entities", under "Anything else", covers this:
"Consume the maximum number of characters possible, with the consumed
characters case-sensitively matching one of the identifiers in the first
column of the entities table".

I've read that several times. But it doesn't say that "i;" in "&noti;" is 
going to be reparsed. ("noti" isn't an entity, but "not" and "notin" are.)
