I use the following code and had no problem since:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE page [
 <!ENTITY % characters SYSTEM "characters.ent">
 %characters;
]>

<page>
  Sch&ouml;, gell!
</page>
         
I've found the characters.ent file in the cvs of stylebook in the
directory styles/apachexml/dtd.
