What should a non-validating XML parser report in the below cases:

1)

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<!DOCTYPE test SYSTEM "notexist.dtd">
<test>a&foo;b</test>


2)

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE test SYSTEM "notexist.dtd">
<test>a&foo;b</test>


Should it report that the notexist.dtd could not be loaded, or that 
entity foo is undefined, or totally ignore any errors?
