In an RMD, the value NONE indicates that an XML processor can parse the document correctly without first reading any part of the DTD. The value INTERNAL indicates that the XML processor must read and process the internal subset of the DTD, if provided, to parse the containing document correctly. The value ALL indicates that the XML processor must read and process the declarations in both the subsets of the DTD, if provided, to parse the containing document correctly. ... If no RMD is provided, an XML processor must behave as though an RMD had been provided with the value ALL.
