[xml] xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault problems

Hello,
I need to parse the first document leaving all entities in place,
so I call
xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault(0);
parse_first_doc();

and the second one with converted entities (actually, I generate the
second document from the first, but without the help of libxml since
it's much simpler to output the data of my objects to xml using
string operations rather than building a document from scratch):

xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault(1);
parse_2nd_doc();

but for some reason, the entities (most notably <) of the first
doc
get replaced through their human readable chars. What did I
misunderstand?

Further, am I right assuming that if I filter a string through
xmlEncodeEntities() then it should be perfectly valid as content?
What
if I haven't got a doc to call it upon at that time? Create an empty
one?

TIA & Best regards & a happy new year everyone,
 Gabriel
