Okay, if I understand you correctly,
CASE 1) Fails because the DTD requirements are not met due to
sticking in text in the wrong place. There is no
mystery here and I only illustrated that IE clearly
understands that this is TEXT, and NOT a tag.
CASE 2) The DTD is changed to allow text. However the style sheets
processor does not treat the string of characters as text,
but rather treats it like a tag. My thought was that the
DTD process and the style-sheets process were not treating
this string of characters "<UNB01>yes</UNB01>"
in the same way.
Now, as a result of your posting, I understand that the DTD
processing replaces the < and > symbols
prior to passing the XML document to the style-sheet processor
for rendering. I.E. the style-sheet processor only sees:
<UNB01>yes</UNB01>
Now that I think about it, it only makes sense to replace
general entity references with entity values
prior to passing the document to
ANY process indicated in a PI. (processing instruction)
including <?xml-stylesheet ... ?>.
Thanks for clearing this up for me.

My program will be processing XML that other people wrote
and looking for specific tags, extracting things like
sender-id and receiver-id and passing the rest through.
So, if I come across this type of thing, I must know how
to deal with it.
