Perhaps I have not been specific enough.
It does not make any difference whether I use &uuml; or &#xdf;
The problem is that if I (generally speaking) add a textnode that containes
an entitynode AS TEXT to the document, in the output the leading & of the
entity is always replaced by &amp;.
So the output of create_text_node ( "some text &#xdf; more text" ) 
NOTE: the &#xdf; is pure text and NOT an entity node!
is always "some text &amp;#xfd; more text". And therefore I will never see
the
special char in the html output. You only get &#xdf; (the & actually is a
&amp;).

I hope this claryfies my problem.
