??? How do you make that well-formed? The production for EntityValue
does not allow a single-quote in a single-quoted string. Perhaps you
meant to say:
<!ENTITY % a ' "Don't do it" said Jane'>
<!ENTITY % b "I reached for my keyboard. %a;">
The (non-existent) rule that strings must start and end in the same
entity is not needed to make this well-formed. The EntityValue
production applies *before* PE substitution (clearly, since it
includes PEReference), so the double-quotes from %a; are not there
yet.
