That's more or less what I expected. Internal general entitites are always
resolved while external entities may or may not be resolved.
I guess the only way to know will be to test different schema processors and see
how they handle this.

Yes, this is really too bad because as soon as you have a DTD present (internal
or external) MSXML4 will completely disregard schema validation.

Thanks for the clarification
