Now there's a good question. At the moment, we have no mechanism aside
from a prominent notice on the website/marketing-material/tech-doc saying
"output from the MegaSoft XML-frobnosticator v7.4 in general uses
external entities, and thus a validating processor is required to
process it"
or
"output from the MicroCorp XML-depullulizer v0.3 does not use
external entities and may be processed correctly by a non-validating
XML processor"
David Singer of IBM at one time suggested that we bless another
PI or something in the XML declaration, saying
<?xml version="1.0" extentities="no" ?>
which is an assertion that no external entities are used. -Tim
