{{ //2.3 Common Syntactic Constructs, XML 1.0 Third Edition

Literal data is any quoted string not containing the quotation mark used as
a delimiter for that string. Literals are used for specifying the content of
internal entities (EntityValue), the values of attributes (AttValue), and
external identifiers (SystemLiteral). ___Note that a SystemLiteral can be
parsed without scanning for markup.___

I wonder what the last sentence really wants to say. 

I think I must have missed certain backgroud knowledge about it.

Could you give me some explanation ?

Thank you!
