The following seem the reasonable combinations to me:
- Validate and process all external entities (if you're validating
you've got to process all external entities).
- Don't validate and process external DTD and parameter entitities
depending on the setting of standalone.
- Don't validate and process external DTD and parameter entities
(irrespective of the setting of standalone).
- Don't validate and don't process external DTD and parameter entities
(irrespective of the setting of standalone).
