Re: XML Schema and Entities

[Rick Jelliffe <ricko@allette.com.au>]

If the information set of the XML document includes entity (declarations),
then these can be referenced from an attribute, just as with DTDs.
The entity declaration could have come from a parsed XML document
or by an object inserted in some kind of DOM or other API which
is entity-aware.

Cheers
