Yep, it's complex. Maybe to complex for me (by now... 8)
So i've tried a possibly quite naive approach by adding some
lines to "xmlStringGetNodeList()"
(and "xmlStringLenGetNodeList()") that recursivly build the
child node list for an entity declaration (which was NULL before,
the initial problem).
I've no idea if this will produce side effects or break other
things, in a (simple) test it works, also my patch for the
complete (recursiv) entity substitution seems to work with it.
What do you think about it (pls don't laugh at me if it's too
strange... 8)?
