Why do you keep using entity definitions that expand to  strings like
[#x0003F] there is no need for it at all, why not use the normal definition
of &quest that expands to a ? character?


I am using a customer DTD, in which all the entity definitions are expanded
to their corresponding Unicode values as above. I very much understand that
this can be simplified to character ? Or something else, but we are not
allowed to modify the customer dtd.

Do you think there is a way around to overcome this?

Thanks,

Pankaj
