That's an interesting approach. :) However, I would say, this works only
in certain situations. You can't apply this method if you need a value
in an attribute.

Any special reason why you don't like it?
You can omit entities and markup your "replaceables" in a non-entity-way,
for example with DocBook elements and special attributes, XIncludes, and
PIs. However, all these alternatives fail to work if you need a value in an
attribute.
Best wishes,
