A bigger issue is that even user-agents which *do* process external DTD subsets are not necessarily going to support named entities; simply because XHTML5 documents do not link to a suitable DTD defining the named entities. > This works in at least Firefox, Safari and Opera In Safari? That's news to me. Last time I tried looking at an XHTML+RDFa 1.0 document served with an XML media type, named entities did not work. (The XHTML+RDFa 1.0 DTD defines the same set of entities used in XHTML 1.1.) -- Toby A Inkster <mailto:mail@tobyinkster.co.uk> <http://tobyinkster.co.uk>
