"xinclude-ish" string content in attribute context.

Agreed. This could actually work for more than just character entities,
but can't now because the XML 1.0 specification restricts entity
definition to DTDs. So it goes.

Rotten idea, as far as I'm concerned. I could see limiting them to
simple content (that is, content that may appear in attribute values).
