If the XSL-Prozessor receives a input source from the parser with >unresolved Entity-References how should it actually react? An unresolved entity reference makes the document not well-formed, so the processor is obliged to reject the document. It can be considered a disservice to the web community that web browsers were lax in the processing of web documents, thus producing the mess of invalid HTML pages out there today ... yet others might argue that strict adherence to SGML by browsers would have killed the ease-of-use. But by the time XML came along it was generally accepted that well-formedness is inviolate and that became a critically important aspect of XML processing. I hope this helps. ...............
