Unfortunately, by the time JDOM sees character entities in SAXBuilder, they
have already been converted by the parser.  I really don't see any way to
handle this other than possibly with Xerces only, using the new native
interface functionality.

You could redefine these character entities in a doctype in the xml document
and refer to those instead of the character entities.  Then the browser
could recieve exactly what you want.
