I've implemented entity refs the way you describe. That doesn't
mean we're correct though :-)

I've hacked my lex parser to push back the expansion of an entity
ref onto the incoming text stream, so it is reparsed.  A cheap technique
but works OK.  Means you can have infinite recursion though if you're
not careful...
