Ok.  But does that not contradict with the statement

  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.

because if they were fully expanded, then it could have some text, and
the xbl:attr="def=xbl:text" would behave differently?
