Re: RESEND: Help needed on not expanding internal entity references

I must say that I don't quite understand what you're really trying to
do. If what you're asking is for character entity references not to be
expanded, the answer is simple: Xerces doesn't support this.
This request keeps coming up and I guess we should try and do something
about it. But I don't know how to support this without any impact on
performance...

I think it is more than bonus feature. I see that there is a lot of users 
which want to know where is character reference used. This feature is very 
important to tools which provide tree and textual editing of xml documents. 
E.g. when you write some xml document (in text editor), use any tool for 
manipulation with this document (action: replace, select, ...) and after 
this you want to edit it in text editor again, you want see document with 
same style (must be readable - so not replaced all ', ", <, >, & with entity 
references etc.).

You are right ... repformance, but do you think that this problem is 
unsolvable? I don't think so. We want to help you with this.

Thanks.
