The question is whether there is a strong case for making inclusion of the external DTD subset separately configurable from the inclusion of external parameter entities in general. I'd suggest not. Consider the following: <!DOCTYPE doc [ <!-- other stuff --> <!ENTITY % dtd SYSTEM "doc.dtd"> ]> and <!DOCTYPE doc SYSTEM "doc.dtd" [ <!-- other stuff --> ]> Except for the extra "%doc" entry in the entity name table, these two document type declarations look to me to be exactly equivalent; as a matter of fact, I've always considered the second to be simply a short-hand for the first. James Clark made a convincing case for separating the inclusion of external general entities for the inclusion of external parameter entities. Can anyone make a convincing case for separating the inclusion of external parameter entities from the inclusion of the external DTD subset?
