It's a documented non-conformance of the msxml parser that entity 
replacement texts have to be namespace well formed, with namespaces 
declared within the entity.

I think actually it's anyway better to use <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
as in an xslt context hiding element structure in entities obscures the
program and makes it harder to follow, especially in terms of white 
space stripping.

<xsl:template match="bbb">
    &cr;
    <xsl:apply-templates...

in the above it's a lot harder for anyone looking at the stylesheet to 
tell if the white space before and after the &cr; is a white space text 
node that will be striped, or a node with non-white characters (from a 
possible entity expansion).
