Nay. ID, IDREF, and IDREFS are important to identify; an XSchema-
based validator can ensure that IDs are unique, and that IDREFs all
have a corresponding ID.
Likewise, NOTATION(S) says, "here's the attribute on which the
element's content is declared".
I think keeping ENTITY and ENTITIES is also a good idea. It says that
the attribute points to an entity, but doesn't mean that the same
schema has to actually declare the permitted entities.
