+1 for a complete consensus :)

Strike SYSTEM from that usage.

Seems simpler to go with a locally defined entity that is the bug #.

FWIW, this works:  http://bugzilla.redhat.com/XXXXXX

I think Mark is thinking of a pre-filled bug report such as the one that
I use for the SELinux FAQ.  For getting proper feedback, it is
invaluable -- it prefills the product, version, and component, sets the
blocker bug and assigned to, suggests a useful title-style, should have
the latest version number embedded already, and has specific suggestions
for filling out a bug report unique to this project.  However, it looks
like this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora%20Core&op_sys=Linux&version=fc3test2&component=fedora-docs&component_text=&rep_platform=All&priority=normal&bug_severity=normal&bug_status=NEW&assigned_to=kwade%40redhat.com&cc=&estimated_time=0.0&bug_file_loc=http%3A%2F%2Fpeople.redhat.com%2Fkwade%2Ffedora-docs%2Fselinux-faq-en%2F&short_desc=SELinux%20FAQ%20-%20%5Bsummarize%20FAQ%20change%20or%20addition%5D&comment=Description%20of%20change%2FFAQ%20addition.%20%20If%20a%20change%2C%20include%20the%20original%0D%0Atext%20first%2C%20then%20the%20changed%20text%3A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AVersion-Release%20of%20FAQ%20%28found%20on%0D%0Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fpeople.redhat.com%2Fkwade%2Ffedora-docs%2Fselinux-faq-en%2Fln-legalnotice.html%29%3A%0D%0A%0D%0A%20for%20example%3A%20selinux-faq-1.3%20%282004-09-15-T04%3A20-0800%29%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A&keywords=&dependson=&blocked=118757%20%20&maketemplate=Remember%20values%20as%20bookmarkable%20templ!
ate&form_name=enter_bug

I use a <ulink/> with descriptive link text. :)

How about:

1. If it is just a link to the bug report, then:

<!ENTITY BUG-URL "http://bugzilla.redhat.com/XXXXXX";>

  usage:

<ulink url="&BUG-URL;"/>

2. If it is a Really Long URL, then following the same solution to
define the entity, but usage is:

<ulink url="BUG-URL;">pre-filled bug report</ulink>

NOTE - if you use a long URL that includes '&' characters, you _must_
change them to &amp; in the XML so that they process into the correct
characters when rendered.
