how to entity microsoft datatype ?   

hi,
I like to use ms_datatype , but the xmlns string is too long , and making 
the xml files huge.
So , I look for using ENTITY to reduce the size . I try the method below , 
but failed , can any body help me out ?

My try:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="gb2312"?>
<!DOCTYPE root[
<!ELEMENT root ANY>
<!ENTITY  msdt 'xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes" dt:dt'>
]>
<root>
<myint &msdt;="int">123</myint>
<myint &msdt;="int">234</myint>
</root>


thanks.

Had you considered this:-

<root xmlns:dt="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:datatypes">
    <myint dt:dt="int">123</myint>


You only need to define the namespace once on a parent element and it will
apply for all descendants.
