Thanks for all the responses, and you're right, the way I broached this
problem doesn't belong in this group, but I guess the jist of the question
was really - was the way I was trying to translate "é" acceptable or
not? and if there might be some other (better?) way of doing the
translation?

For those of you who suggested the 'encoding="iso-8859-1"' the problem is
that I have "Montrél" in my XML NOT "Montréal" otherwise that
suggestion would have worked fine.

Thanks again,

Dan

Okay.  Then shouldn't Dan's DOCTYPE declaration work?  You can declare
ISO entities in a DTD.  Or is it just an MSXML problem?

That is a tautology though, the DTD is that that is referenced by the
doctype.

It doesn't require an external file and it doesn't require that all
elements are declared.

<!DOCTYPE a [
<!ATTLIST b x ID #IMPLIED>
]>
<a>
<b x="z"/>
</a>

is a well formed document and the element b has ID z.
