Creating newline node on JRuby

[dworld-software]

I wrote creating newline node using EntityReference

require 'rubygems'
require 'nokogiri'

xml = <<EOF
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<item></item>
EOF
doc = Nokogiri::XML xml

lf_node = Nokogiri::XML::EntityReference.new(doc, "#xa")
doc.xpath('/item').first.add_child(lf_node)
puts doc.to_xml

Nokogiri 1.4.7 returns valid xml what I expected.

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 <item>&#xa;</item>

But Nokogiri 1.5.5 causes DOMException.

null:-1:in `createEntityReference': org.w3c.dom.DOMException: INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR: An invalid or illegal XML character is specified.

Is there anyway to create newline node?

It seems Xerces is unable to create EntityReference with the name starting with '#'. So, I changed internal node type from EntityReference to Text. The change was pushed in rev. 0d8c3f2 . Now, pure Java version behaves like libxml version.
