I must say that I don't quite understand what you're really trying to do. If what you're asking is for character entity references not to be expanded, the answer is simple: Xerces doesn't support this. This request keeps coming up and I guess we should try and do something about it. But I don't know how to support this without any impact on performance...
I think it is more than bonus feature. I see that there is a lot of users which want to know where is character reference used. This feature is very important to tools which provide tree and textual editing of xml documents. E.g. when you write some xml document (in text editor), use any tool for manipulation with this document (action: replace, select, ...) and after this you want to edit it in text editor again, you want see document with same style (must be readable - so not replaced all ', ", <, >, & with entity references etc.).
You are right ... repformance, but do you think that this problem is unsolvable? I don't think so. We want to help you with this.
Thanks.
