I'm not an XML guy, but isn't it true that if, as the spec says (from your
link): 

declaring the default namespace (if any) that is in scope on that element in
the DOM

that that line requires that the entities that are declared in that namespace
be respected?

If it doesn't, then I agree that the spec is broken, because really, you should
be able to feed any valid XHTML into the innerHTML property, and have it work. 
It shouldn't fail just because it has a valid XHTML character entity, but work
for everything else. 

That's just dumb.
