Hi,
  I still have a lingering doubt about the above, consider the example of
the attached file. The subtree of the entity reference node for &Fname;
consists of seven children.

This is because the child node of ent ref node &Fname; points to the Entity
Decl node Fname, hence effectively if try to get the child nodes of ent ref
node &Fname; we get 7 children.

Should not the child node of ent-ref node be a text node containing the
replacement text of the entity rather than the entire tree associated with
the corresponding entity declaration?

Thanks !!

Regards
Ashwin
