In Mozilla?  Really?

If each named entity were converted to its numeric form, e.g.,
&Fscr; converted to &#x02131; (or the actual character
inserted under, say, the UTF-8 text encoding), this document
should then be OK regarding entities

It will be easier simply to add a reference to a suitable
external DTD, e.g., add

  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN"
            "http://www.w3.org/Math/DTD/mathml2/xhtml-math11-f.dtd">

between the xml declaration and the root element.

But note that an XML user agent, in general, is not required to fetch
an external entity; in this case Mozilla will.

To avoid external entity fetching by Mozilla use this instead:

  <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1 plus MathML 2.0//EN"
            "mathml.dtd">
