Re: [xml-dev] When to check entity WFness according to 4.3.2
>The only case when (c) does not catch the WF violation is when >the entity is never referenced. That is, Expat will not catch this: ><!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. -- Richard
