Just to be clear : I do get a node with type = XML_ENTITY_REF
but I'd like just to have everyting lumped together in one (or more) text nodes.
(My bad : I should have reread this before sending) Ideally, the parser should
ignore them completly and try not to validate them to a dtd. Not sure if this
would go against the xml standard of some sorts but from a practical POV it
seems to make sense to me.

Just the same as above I'd like them to stay in &#x0000; form in one (or more)
text nodes.
