My apologies. I overlooked the second half of Clause 4.

XML Infoset has Unexpanded Entity Reference Information Items
and Unparsed Entity Information Items only. It does not provide entity
declarations. Furthermore, unexpanded entity reference information
Items occur only when entity references are not expanded. How do you apply renaming
to entity declarations and expanded references to entities?

Thanks for the clarification. It would be nice if a note about this
limitation is added.
