I think I would expect a non-validating processor to inform the application about any unparsed entities that have been declared in the internal subset. A non-validating processor has to keep track of this, because it has to report an error if any of them are referenced. I don't see that passing this information on to the application has anything to do with validation. The only things I expect of a validating processor that I don't expect of a non-validating processor are: - processing the external DTD subset - processing parameter entity references - reporting violations of validity constraints - reporting that character data is ignorable white space James xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
