XP> character entities and XHTML-Print

Hello,

I've been trying to understand which set of pre-defined character entities
are applicable to XHTML-Print: the xml or the XHTML 1.0 set.

One of my colleagues says it is the smaller, xml set.  I think it is the
XHTML 1.0 set.

Here's my reasoning, see what you think:

1. XHTML-Print is in the family of XHTML document types since it is created
by combining XHTML modules.
(http://www.pwg.org/xhtml-print/HTML-Version/XHTML-Print.html#s1.1)

2. The DTDs and entity sets attached to the XHTML 1.0 specs "form a
normative part of this specification."
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xhtml1-20020801/#dtds)

3. Therefore, the entity sets in XHTML 1.0 should be supported in
XHTML-Print unless the XHTML-Print spec states  otherwise.

Comments?
