Seems like it needs an expert. I thought I have already tried US-ASCII and saxon did not recognise it (... is not supported: using UTF8) but maybe I misspelled it... Now it works! >Why do you need these characters to be represented as entities? Numeric character references are OK! Just want to create valid XHTML. I'm just used to these entities because I often edit HTML-files by hand. Thank you!
