This is what XmlTextReader.cs from the mono project says:

 // LAMESPEC: Orthodox XML reader should normalize attribute values    

and therefore mono normalizes attributes whether or not Normalize is set. Next 
time I have access to a machine running Windows, I will double-check how MS 
.net does it.

The XML specification says:
"Before the value of an attribute is passed to the application or checked for 
validity, the XML processor MUST normalize the attribute value by applying the 
algorithm below, or by using some other method such that the value passed to 
the application is the same as that produced by the algorithm."

Summary:  XmlTextReader does not translate entities in values

Original Submission:  See the following example; it should output "nächster", 
but outputs "n&#228;chster"


using System.Xml;
using System.IO;
using System;

public class XmlDemo {
        public static void Main() {
                StringReader sr = new StringReader("<x 
value="n&#228;chster"/>");
                XmlTextReader xr = new XmlTextReader (sr);
                xr.Read();
                xr.MoveToAttribute("value");
                Console.Out.WriteLine(xr.Value);
        }
}

Strange. The property XmlTextReader.Normalization is responsible for that, and 
default is false (MSDN says so). So, what portable.net does, is correct. (if I 
insert "xr.Normalization = true;" in the example, it works).
But Mono shows a different behaviour, and I'm quite sure so does MS .net.
