Re: RDFa DTD and HTML character entity

I agree, and it is a significant problem.  Some of us have been 
discussing the best advice to give content authors - something we can 
add to http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-media-types

I had hoped that advice wouldn't be "DO use numeric entity references. 
DO NOT use named entity references."  But I am guessing we will have 
little choice.
