so, here is my problem. Some mobile devices will understand the € 
entity some won't. So I want to use WURFL to serve the right "string" to 
each device. The string may be "EUR", "Euros" or "€".

As far as I am concerned, I want WURFL to consider "€" just like 
any other string. What's the XML way to escape it?

I tried this, but it doesn't work:

<capability name="entity_euro" value="<![CDATA[&euro;]]>"/>

I could work it around by creating a micro expression language of some kind:

<capability name="entity_euro" value="ampersand_euro;"/>

but this does not seem to elegant.

Thanks
