mfenced not fenced.

Always in XML entities must be defined in a DTD which is referenced by
<!DOCTYPE at the top of teh document.
If you don't have a <!DOCTYPE and do use an entity reference other than
the five pre-defined entities, then your document is not well formed.

You are asking on the xsl-list so I assume there is some XSL somewhere.
If you are generating your presentation mathML using XSLT then it's
rather hard to accidentally produce not well formed XML output.

Virtually the only way is to use disable-output-escaping, and the advice
with d-o-e is always the same, don't use it unless you really have to.

In this case, even if you do define the middot entity you'd end up with
an ampersand and a dot inside the mo. you don't want
<mml:mo>& amp;& middot;</mml:mo>
you just want
<mml:mo>& xB7;</mml:mo>
