… vs xmllint

[Mathieu Malaterre <mathieu.malaterre@gmail.com>]

hi there,

  I have written a couple of Makefile rules to check my docbook XML is
valid. for this task I used xmllint. It used to work pretty nicely up
to now. Could someone please let me know what is the issue with the
following:

$ cat test.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"
"docbookV4.5/docbookx.dtd">
<article>
  <section>
    <title/>
      <para>&hellip; is ok here</para>
  </section>
  <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"; href="section.xml"/>
</article>
$ cat section.xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
  <section>
    <title/>
      <para>&amp; is ok</para>
      <para>&hellip; is not ok</para>
  </section>

$ xmllint --xinclude --postvalid --noout --nonet test.xml
section.xml:5: parser error : Entity 'hellip' not defined
      <para>&hellip; is not ok</para>
                    ^
test.xml:8: element include: XInclude error : could not load
section.xml, and no fallback was found
test.xml:3: element article: validity error : Element article content
