The spec states in [29] markupdecl: 

   Well-Formedness Constraint: PEs in Internal Subset
   In the internal DTD subset, parameter-entity references can occur
   only where markup declarations can occur, not within markup
   declarations. (This does not apply to references that occur in
   external parameter entities or to the external subset.)

HTH,
Chris
