You could use extensions offered by some processors, e.g. Saxon gives you

  <saxon:doctype xsl:extension-element-prefixes="saxon">
    <dtd:doctype name="booklist">
      <dtd:entity name="cover" system="cover.gif" notation="GIF"/>
      <dtd:notation name="GIF" system="http://gif.org/"/>
    </dtd:doctype>
  </saxon:doctype>

or you could write out the entity declarations as processing instructions and use your own serializer to turn them into entity declarations in the internal subset.
