When "how" means knowing something about the literal value
of a string, with parameter entities ... no, it's not possible.
To get access to that level of information, you'd need an API
that exposes lexical tokens (such as '"', '%href;', '"' for a
value in an attribute or entity declaration). That's not IMHO
the domain of a "Simple API for XML", but one could use the SAX2
extension mechanism to expose such an API through the SAX API.
