  I smell that you are including an HTML set of entity declarations
in an xmL document, but XML recognize only a limited subset of SGML
entities support and you get a fatal error.

  Try to load the entities coming from XHTML instead

<!-- Character entity set. Typical invocation:
    <!ENTITY % HTMLlat1 PUBLIC
       "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1 for XHTML//EN"
       "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent";>
    %HTMLlat1;
-->

  from /usr/share/xml/xhtml/1.0/xhtml-lat1.ent coming from my
xhtml1-dtds package which  are registered in the XML catalog.
