To do a Parameter-entity reference one use %name; 
  http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-entref
  "[Definition: Parameter-entity references use percent-sign (%) and
   semicolon (;) as delimiters.]"

"Parameter-entity references MUST NOT appear outside the DTD."

%foo; is not a Parameter-entity reference in content:
  http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-entref
  "Outside the DTD, the % character has no special significance; thus, what would be parameter entity 
references in the DTD are not recognized as markup in content."

and 

&foo; is not a Parameter-entity reference

so I didn't see a parameter entity reference in your document, but again
send a minimal one as attachement to make sure.
