Yup, I'm an idiot. I was so obsessed about the other reasons why it might
not be valid, that I missed the obvious one. Its too bad he doesn't have a
listing of what he thinks is wrong with each file and why. That would save
some trouble for the mentally/chronologically challenged such as myself :-)
Thanks.

Attribute values cannot contain references to external entities. See the
WFC
in 3.1
I wanted to do this on XMLSOFTWARE where I wanted to have an attribute
Updated="&date;" where date was an external entity changed daily by a cron
job. Instead I just made it an element rather than an attribute.
