Jean Yves,
  The XML fragment you have shown does not include any entity references. Does
&myproductname; appear anywhere in the XML document?
  I just imported the following document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE test [
<!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA)>
<!ENTITY used "this entity is referenced">
<!ENTITY unused "this entity is not referenced">
]>
<test>&used;</test>

   In both FM 7.0 and 7.1, the resulting file defined a variable named 
"used" but
did not define one named "unused".
