> To make project.xml readable across operating systems and parsers (even when 
> turned into html by the site plugin), we have used entities for non-US 
> characters in project xml.   The XML parser used in maven 1.1 chokes on the 
> use of these entities (but not on the entity definition). This is very 
> unfortunate, as using entities for abbreviations and symbols is perfectly 
> legal Xml. 
> Example: won't work with 1.1:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
> <!DOCTYPE project [
>     <!ENTITY OSlash "&#248;">
>     <!ENTITY CapitalOSlash "&#216;">
> ]>
> <project>
>     <pomVersion>3</pomVersion>
>  ...
>     <developers>
>         <developer>
>             <name>Marit Finne J&OSlash;rgensen</name>
>             <id>mfj</id>
>         </developer>
>     </developers>
> ....
> </project>
> Example: fix for 1.1, with cross-system compatibility issues. 
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
> <!DOCTYPE project [
>     <!ENTITY OSlash "&#248;">
>     <!ENTITY CapitalOSlash "&#216;">
> ]>
> <project>
>     <pomVersion>3</pomVersion>
>  ...

>         <developer>
>             <name>Marit Finne Jørgensen</name>
>             <id>mfj</id>
>         </developer>
>     </developers>
> ....
> </project>
> The XML parser chokes on the Usage of the XML Entity, inside 'Jørgensen', not 
> on the definition.
