(dsssl) SDATA entities and XML

[Jany Quintard <jany.quintard@xxxxxxx>]

I am facing with a nasty problem (or so I believe).
I process SGML files containing the entity nbsp
The definition is
<!ENTITY nbsp SDATA "\no-break-space">

When transforming to HTML (SGML backend), I use the
(declare-characteristic preserve-sdata?
so my output contains the &nbsp;.
When formatting, Openjade uses the definition and all is well.

But, I am trying to use this in XML, and SDATA entities are not allowed.

Does anyone see a solution to this ?
