Changing the "entity references" text with a hyperlink to http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#dt-entref in the XML spec would make the meaning clear and unambiguous. There are already similar hyperlinks to the XML spec in the "Serializing XHTML fragments" section of the HTML spec; for example, the terms "document entity" and "internal general parsed entity". 90535 2 ian 2013-07-09 21:13:29 +0000 See diff in bug 22573.
