Peter, The entities does not cease to exists when they are serialized, but the entity references are replaced with the contents of the entities during serilazation. I use this mechanism to ensure users only use specific values in certain elements, when editing the documents.
It is possible to create a different mechanism, which checks the document after the editing process, but that is exactly what I wanted to avoid. Although I would like to have this facility, it is more important to me that I am able to edit documents with xinclude element, and that XXE does not replace the xinclude element with the content (in XXE the so called non-managed references).
