I wonder why the serialization behaves that way. It does not make sense to me. If a user has the need to escape XML, it should be thorough, shouldn't it?

One way is to use a character map, as Bridger Dyson-Smith described.
Sometimes another way can be to have a version of the DTD in which the
replacement text of the entity marks the presence of the entity, e.g.
<!ENTITY eacute "&eacute;">
but this will affect full-text searching of course.
