Oracle XDK - C language -

Question

Help!
I would like to use the oracle xdk for xsl processing, and validation.
But when I try to either process or validate this document,
I get this error:
In line 436 of ../dtds/ead.dtd:
In line 644 of eadbase.ent [parameter entity eadbase]:
LPX-00231: invalid character 37 ('%') found in a NAME or NMTOKEN
I am processing a document that uses the EAD dtd.
(see http://www.loc.gov/ead/).
so the ead dtd is the standard ead dtd.
The fragment in question is an attlist definition:
635 <!--************************************************************-->
636 <!-- SUBTITLE -->
637
638 <!ELEMENT subtitle (#PCDATA | %m.phrase.bare; | abbr |
639 date | expan | num)* >
640
641 <!ATTLIST subtitle
642 %a.common;
643 encodinganalog CDATA #IMPLIED >
644
but both %m.phrase.bare; and %a.common were defined and used before, with
no problem in other element, like for instance titleproper which comes immediately
before subtitle (
621 <!ELEMENT titleproper (#PCDATA | %m.phrase.bare; | abbr |
622 date | expan | num)* >
623
624 <!ATTLIST titleproper
625 %a.common;
626 extent (all | part |
627 unknown-extent) #IMPLIED
628 pubstatus (pub | unpub |
629 unknown-pub) #IMPLIED
630 render (%av.render;) #IMPLIED
631 type CDATA #IMPLIED
632 encodinganalog CDATA #IMPLIED >
Can anyone give me a hint why this would fail?
This is the definition of parameter entity a.common:
385 <!--************************************************************-->
386 <!-- COMMON ATTRIBUTES -->
387 <!--************************************************************-->
388 <!-- Attributes used on most ead elements -->
389
390 <!ENTITY % a.common
391 'id ID #IMPLIED
392 altrender CDATA #IMPLIED
393 audience (external | internal) #IMPLIED' >
394
395
Thanks in advance for any help, or clues to deficiencies in the xdk parser.

You can use the DOM2 adoptNode() and ImportNode().
