yes that is the annoying thing about the current spec,
<x>&foo;</x>
is a not well formed but
<!DOCTYPE SYSTEM "/dev/null">
<x>&foo;</x>
is well formed but not valid.
If it was always well formed even without the pointless <!DOCTYPE things
would be a lot easier if you wanted to experiment with alternative
entity declaration mechanisms.
