Comment 3 Sean Flanigan 2012-07-31 02:58:55 UTC 
I think this is the sort of thing we need to fix in 1.7.x.
Comment 4 Alex Eng 2012-07-31 03:10:52 UTC 
Fix backported to 1.7.2.
Comment 5 Ding-Yi Chen 2012-08-06 01:52:46 UTC 
Tested with 1.8.0-SNAPSHOT (20120806-0025) and 1.7.2-SNAPSHOT (20120806-0012)

The "Web "" no longer gives false warning, however, they failed to give warning in following cases:

&#YKK; &#BBRR;

In other words, xml numeric entities that are neither decimal nor hexadecimal should produce warning like "invalid xml numeric entity".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numeric_character_reference 
shows the valid format and restrictios.


Reassigned.
