Umlauts, DOCTYPE?

I can't seem to have Cocoon (actually it's Xerces) accept any &uuml; and
similar things. I put the DOCTYPE definitions in cocoon.properties:

# HTML 4.0 (strict)
formatter.text/html.doctype-public = -//W3C//ENTITIES Latin1//EN//HTML
formatter.text/html.doctype-system = http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/HTMLlat1.ent

but Cocoon still doesn't like them.

I have an xml file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="bla.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<?cocoon-process type="xslt"?>

<item>&uuml;</item>

that is transformed by XSL. I can put whatever DOCTYPE definition in the
3rd line, but Cocoon/Xerces just doesn't like it. F.ex:

  <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin1//EN//HTML" 
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/HTMLlat1.ent">

  loading the page will "hang" Cocoon, that is, even after waiting for a
  long time, nothing will be returned, Netscape times out with an error
  or alternatively I get:

  "org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The external entity declaration must
   begin with either "SYSTEM" or "PUBLIC"."

?!?


I have searched the web and checked the FAQ but haven't found an answer.

I'm sure there must be someone who's allready resolved this problem...

Thanks,
