   Re: [xml-dev] When to check entity WFness according to 4.3.2

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

>The only case when (c) does not catch the WF violation is when

><!DOCTYPE doc [
><!ELEMENT doc (#PCDATA)>
><!ENTITY e "<foo>abc</not_foo>">
>]>
><doc></doc>

Just to reiterate what I said earlier: expat is right not to report
this as an error, because the document is well-formed, even though
the entity "e" is not.
