That text node is not all white space because of the " so the
whole lot gets put in the output.

The rules for white space in XSLT are really very simple, and you have
full control over which spaces get output. All characters in a template
get copied to the output unless they are in a text node that consists
of just white space, in which case extra rules apply, but by default
they do not get copied unless they are a child of xsl:text.

If you want to use white space to indent your stylesheet without
affecting the output just always make sure all characters to be output
are inside <xsl:text>.

It is rarely worthwhile declaring entities in the stylesheet.
If you do, then note that teh above is not strictly legal although some
parsers may silently correct it for you. the SYSTEM ID should be a URI.
You have a URI in the unknown URI scheme D: what you probably want is
file:///D/xsl-exp/characterEntities/entityref.dtd
