  If you give an SGML entity declaration to an XML parser in most case
the syntax is not XML and the parser has to stop with a fatal error.
I have seen big problems. If your tool works perfectly with both it
probably mean they are SGML tools or not compliants. The formers will
have a hard time with xml:base, xinclude, an in general any stuff added
to XML which wasn't present in SGML.
