The entities for these are created as:

(etc.)

Although a little warped this does certainly make sure
that things are given as <xptr href="Blort" other="attrib" />
if blort is used instead, it does not validate.

The question is, since the Blort entity is declared as
NDATA, is it possible to retrieve the string 'Blortfile.xml'.

On the surface you'd think something like:
<xsl:template match="xptr">
<xsl:value-of select="@href"/>
</xsl:template>

when matching <xptr href="Blort" other="attrib" />
would output 'Blortfile.xml'.  However (probably
quite sensibly) it instead outputs 'Blort'.

I think this is what the unparsed-entity-uri() function is for. I've been 
battling with something similar all day.

Let me know if you get it to work, coz I certainly can't!

best,
