The DITA For Publishers project includes an "XML domain" with mention
elements for elements, attributes, text entites, parameter entities, and
numeric character references. I use it in all of my documentation where I
need to identify mentions of XML constructs.

See http://dita4publishers.sourceforge.net/ for access to the materials and
a modicum of documentation.
