Hello, I'm using Microsoft's XML parser that comes as part of IE 5 beta 1 as a component of an application that will use XML as its document format. Since IE5 is still a beta I'm having some trouble determining if certain behaviors are bugs in the current version of their parser or correctly reflect the W3C specification. Namely I'm using an internal entity declaration as follows: <!ENTITY om "<variable targetset='om'>OM</variable>"> as part of the internal part of the DTD. I can load the document into MSXML (thier parser) and traverse the node tree. When I get to the node where I am refering to the &om; entity I get OM back as the value of that node but I cannot retrieve the targetset attribute. It is my understanding that internal entities should be parsed in place when they are refered to, which should mean that I can treat that node as I would any other. This does not seem to be the case with the MS parser. Is this a limitation of the MS beta parser or am I misunderstanding how entities are used in XML?
