You should understand that the entity stuff that you bumped into was a 
necessity of SGML documents in the days of yore as there was no such 
thing as UTF-8. XML documents can use the non-ASCII characters directly 
instead of using character entities if they use UTF-8. This is usually 
declared in the header like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

In order to set up your XML toolchain, please peruse the excellent 
instructions here:

Markus
