This may be the case, but it's not what the spec says today. From 4.4 in the 970807 version: For an internal (text) entity, the processor must include the entity; that is, retrieve its replacement text and process it as a part of the document (i.e. as content or AttValue, whichever was being processed when the reference was recognized), passing the result to the application in place of the reference. >One reason to do this is that the internal >entity may be defined in an external parameter entity or external DTD >subset.

I think we voted that entities whose declarations are not available because they were in an external part of the DTD and the processor skipped that part (as it's allowed to) are treaded as external entity refs and may be skipped even if they happened to be internal entities. -T. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
