Note that in both this case and Richard's other (well-formed only) case,
the character reference has to be inside an entity declaration to work:

<!DOCTYPE foo [
  <!ELEMENT foo ANY>
  <!ATTLIST foo att NMTOKENS #IMPLIED>
  ]>
<foo att="foo&#xD;bar">

is not valid in either 1.0 or 1.1 (the attribute value contains seven
characters of which the fourth is a CR).
