NIST test case 49 is intended to test unexpanded entity reference 
informaiton items in the included infoset. However, I'm not sure there's 
anything in the document that would cause such items to be present in 
the result infoset. The result of inlcusion only matches if the 
processor fails to expand entity references, but it's not clear to me 
why it should fail to expand entity references. I certainly don't think 
there's anything wrong about expanding entity references in this test 
case. I would suggest removing this test from the suite, or at a minimum 
adding some markup to testdesc.xml indicating that this test only 
succeeds when entity resolution is not performed. But I really would 
prefer the test to be eliminated completely.
