Silly me.  LexicalHandler doesn't report entity expansions within
attribute values, as of the final "extensions 1.0" release (though at
least some of the earlier drafts of LexicalHandler expected that).

That still seems right, though.  There may be reasons to let other
event callbacks intervene, for when namespace declarations get
processed as they're parsed.
