David,

I would be very happy if I could recreate an XML tree that would give
the same parse results as the original document, but when dealing with
unparsed entities referenced in attribute values, I can't seem to find a
proper way to do this. If someone could show me how I could create an
XML 1.0 document using XSLT that would parse the same as the following
document, I would be very happy:

<!DOCTYPE foo [
<!ELEMENT foo EMPTY >
<!ATTLIST foo img ENTITY #IMPLIED >
<!NOTATION gif PUBLIC "-//NATIONAL//NOTATION Compuserve gif format//EN"
"" >
<!ENTITY testimg SYSTEM "testimg.gif" NDATA gif >
]>
<foo img="testimg"/>
