very strange behavior......

[will]

i was recently using the Project Gutenberg Catalog ( http://www.gutenberg.org/feeds/catalog.rdf.zip ) to test out some XPath queries. Im sorry in advance for any difficulty you may find from reading the below but i would like to include full example and be very clear.

 I input the FIRST time into the XML: box, there was nothing in the XPath: box

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

<pgterms:etext rdf:ID="etext11055">

  <dc:publisher>&pg;</dc:publisher>

  <dc:title rdf:parseType="Literal">Lord Dolphin</dc:title>

  <dc:rights rdf:resource="&lic;" />

</pgterms:etext>

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

i clicked the Fix! button and no errors were thrown, i received this output

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

NOTE:: addition of "  xmlns:dc="http://generated.ns/dc" xmlns:xsd="http://generated.ns/xsd" xmlns:rdf="http://generated.ns/rdf" xmlns:dcterms="http://generated.ns/dcterms" xmlns:pgterms="http://generated.ns/pgterms" " to first element

i then tried clicking Color!, Format!, and Validate! all of which threw similar error to below,

"Something went wrong:The entity "pg" was referenced, but not declared"

however, the Fix! button still worked ( and will continue to work for the duration ).  I proceeded to scan through my XML and saw the element

<dc:publisher>&pg;</dc:publisher>

figuring it was the & in front of "&pg;" throwing the error i deleted that element and tried the Color!, Format!, and Validate! buttons again and they all threw similar error to below,

Something went wrong:The entity "lic" was referenced, but not declared

at the bottom of the XML was the element

<dc:rights rdf:resource="&lic;" />

 i deleted this element and tried the Format! button, to which i received this output

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

at this point all other buttons seemed to work as intended.  The addition of the URLS after the first Fix!ing made me wonder so i checked out the Project Guttenberg page further and found that their XML catalog follows the Resource Description Format http://www.w3.org/RDF/ and further more the DCMI recommendation http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-rdf/, i did no further research as it would distract me from the original reason of testing XPath.

I am a senior at university and need to in someway participate in a software project (create, code, test etc) for my programming capstone course, i need to first check with professor but if further testing and development to fix these problems is acceptable for final project i will be willing to dedicate many hours in the next 3.5 months to testing/fixing this problem, please let me know if this is a possiblity, and i will in turn check with prof.  thank you for your time
