Do you mean skippedEntity()?

Yes, I'm OK with using entity declarations (DeclHandler) to
distinguish internal and external entities.

What I mean is that I'd rather have an entityReference() handler than
{start, end}Entity() handlers.

There's some issues with the processing model though.  There would
probably need to be a mode feature where either entityReference() is
called or entities are resolved.  More difficult, if a handler wanted
to know _both_ the entity reference and the resolved content (which is
probably where {start, end}Entity() is proposed).

Entities in attributes is a whole 'nother can of worms.
