Er, that is, "&#[0-9]+;" and "&#x[0-9a-fA-F]+;" (with x for the hex case).

Maybe I can plug a really handy environment for messin'-around-in-XQuery,
BaseX: http://basex.org/
All the buzzwords on the landing page make it seem as if it's going to be
some monstrous thing to download and set up, but on the downloads page,
the "Core Package" option is a single standalone 3.8 MB jar file:
http://files.basex.org/releases/9.2.4/BaseX924.jar
"java -jar BaseX924.jar" is all it takes to start up, and wham, you're
in a nice IDE-like environment where the editor pane is syntax-aware
for XQuery and will run your code and show results with a click of the
go button.
