In section 4.5 of the latest XML spec it says that if the predefined
entities are declared they must be declared as follows:

<!ENTITY lt "<">
<!ENTITY gt ">">
<!ENTITY amp "&">
<!ENTITY apos "'">
<!ENTITY quote '"'>

Is the definition for amp valid XML? The definition of EntityValue is
given is section 1.5 as:

EntityValue := '"' ([^%&] | PEReference | Reference)* '"'
| "'" ([^%&] | PEReference | Reference)* "'"

This indicates that "&" is not a valid entity value?
