handling entities as part of text nodes

[kanghao]

I have (ampersand,sharp,160,colon) entities in my document.
When I parse the document and print the text node, it give me question marks.

Why this happens?
I use Xalan;

In order for you to correctly read an ampersand, the document should contain [ignore]&[/ignore]. A valid alternative (although a little odd) is: [ignore]&38;[/ignore]
