Using a single unSkippedEntity (String name) call, you tell them apart
if you track their entity declarations (with a DeclHandler).  Is that
level of work OK for you?

On the other hand, the XHTML spec had words (I seem to recall) that
conformant user agents must be rendering unknown entity refs in their
literal form &like-this; ... which raises some other issues, if SAX2
subsystems are going to be able to drive such user agents.
