I think this couldn't be well-formed because of 4.4.8 Included as PE:
"...replacement text is enlarged by the attachment of one leading and one
following space (#x20) character..."
There would be space between <! and ATTLIST so this wouldn't work.
but as you refered to testcase /xmltest/not-wf/not-sa/010.xml
010.ent:
<!ENTITY % e "<!ELEMENT ">
%e; doc (#PCDATA)>
this looks like very clear indication that PE reference alone isn't
allowed in the start of DTD declaration element -
it isn't well-formed as the test shows.
But wait a minute, what constitutes a well-formed declaration then?
starting <!ELEMENT and closing > must come from the same (nesting level of)
replacement text?
<!ENTITY % DOC "doc">
<!ENTITY % e "<!ELEMENT %DOC; (#PCDATA)>">
%e;
is valid.
and "everything" between starting and closing tags can be PE references (in
external
DTD subset) i.e.
<!ELEMENT %DOC; %CONTENT_MODEL;>
Is this correct?
with respect,
