I did set this to false. Also I set these other options to true:
fgDOMValidation, fgDOMNamespaces, fgXercesSchema,
fgXercesSchemaFullChecking, fgDOMDatatypeNormalization,
fgDOMValidateIfSchema

Also I am using xerces 2.7 and xalan 1.10.

The way I am using xalan and xerces to parse Xml files works perfectly
fine for all XPaths except the ones in which the xml files are referencing
each other using entity tags.
