It is correct, isn't it, that the value of a general entity name does
not depend on the current XML namespace. I suppose the reason for
this is that general entity definitions may be viewed as playing the
role of macro definitions and so would then be viewed as
author-private. Of course, there is a history of use that is
document-type-private, rather than author-private. (And there are
the few character names that are required by the XML 1.0 spec.)
