Entity reference issue in XMLEventReader

[huynhjl]

It seems XMLEventReader is not pickup up entity references. Here is an example scala interpreter session (I'm escaping ampersand in my message, not sure how this will display)

$ scala
Welcome to Scala version 2.8.0.r19070-b20091013021844 (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, Java 1.6.0_13).
[...]

scala> val er = new scala.xml.pull.XMLEventReader(scala.io.Source.fromString("<foo>1 &lt; 2</foo>"))
er: scala.xml.pull.XMLEventReader = non-empty iterator

scala> while (er.hasNext) { println(er.next) }
EvElemStart(null,foo,,)
EvText(1 )
EvText( 2)
EvElemEnd(null,foo)

scala>

I would have expected a EvEntityRef(&lt;) in the output. Is this a bug?

I have had trouble with entities on Scala XML. I'd say, look up XMLEventReader on Scala Trac, post a message to the xml list (I think there is one), and if all fails, do open a ticket.
