xsltproc and Entities

[Brett]

I am producing some formatted text using xslt, and therefore have a
lot of carriage returns. Instead of placing a:
<text>
</text>
everywhere I decided to form an entity like so:
<!DOCTYPE stylesheet [
<!ENTITY cr "<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>">
]>

and then place a &cr; everywhere I want a carriage return. It works
fine in xmlspy, but when using xsltproc, I get namespace errors,
specifically:
"warning: Namespace prefix xsl is not defined"
and
"compilation error: file foo.xslt line 1 element text
Namespaces prefix used for multiple namespaces"

Any idea on what I am doing wrong?

Which is probably true at the time the parser reads the internal
subset... DTDs are definitely problematic with namespaces.

By the way, why not use
to denote carriage return?
