This violates

  Well-formedness constraint: PE Between Declarations

  The replacement text of a parameter entity reference in a DeclSep
  must match the production extSubsetDecl.

But [72] is covered by the statement in 2.8:

  The productions later in this specification for individual
  nonterminals (elementdecl, AttlistDecl, and so on) describe the
  declarations after all the parameter entities have been included.
