Ok, well I have a parser that i wrote from scratch, and of the 83 or so
productions this is the only one my parser has a problem with. If when a
NotationDecl has a publicID the systemliteral is optional (which is what the
current spec implies) then the spec should have had productions like the
following
[83] NotationDecl ::= '<!NOTATION' S Name S (SystemID | PublicID )
[84] PublicID ::= 'PUBLIC' S PubicLiteral (S SystemLiteral)?
[85] SystemID ::= 'SYSTEM' S SystemLiteral
Or
[[83] NotationDecl ::= '<!NOTATION' S Name S (ExternalID | PublicID )
[84] PublicID ::= 'PUBLICID' S PubicLiteral
