Bug in XML-Recommendation

To the authors of the
W3C Recommendation 10-February-1998,
Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0!

I write this message because I believe, that there is a real bug
in the XML specification V1.0 which isn't recognized in the
known errors list.

So far I understand the specification, there are no references of
parameter-entitys allowed in a choice, seq or mixed construct. Only
names are allowed which can't start with a #x25; character.

I believe that all your examples like:

<!ELEMENT %name.para; %content.para; >
<!ELEMENT dictionary-body (%div.mix; | %dict.mix;)*>
<!ELEMENT p (#PCDATA | %font; | %phrase; | %special; | %form;)* >

are wrong to the given specification.

May be my interpretation is wrong, because I can't believe that
such a bug isn't reported by now.

Regards,
Martin Kempa
