Unless you care about getting external entities to work.  If you do,
you'll need to check for entity declarations.

I've written a simple Perl script that loops through a file and
handles external entities.  A better thing to do would be to use Larry
Wall's XML::Parser package, which is a wrapper on James Clark's
xmltok, but I'm having shared library problems...

I'm willing to share the Perl script with anyone who wants it; you can
see its current frivolous application as a Diplomacy board game report
generator at <URL:http://crism.ne.mediaone.net/cgi-bin/diplo.pl>.
