File Entity Behaviour

I am experiencing strange behaviour from IE 5.0 and File Entities.

If everything is in the file, no file entities, it looks
beautiful.

When I have the following:

<!DOCTYPE myfile [
<!ENTITY item1 SYSTEM "item1.xml">
<!ENTITY item2 SYSTEM "item2.xml">
]>
<myfile>
   .
   .
   .
  &item1;
  &item2;
   .
   .
</myfile>

IE 5.0 displays &item1; and &item2; before the front matter of
the document, then displays it again in the right location.  Even
when I take reference to &item1; and &item2; out of the
document document and leave the ENTITY references in the document
they still display, even though they aren't being referenced.

Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?  If so, are there
any workarounds?

TIA.

Betty
