I was thinking in cases where the DTD wasn't available for some reason - you wouldn't have the information about the @options attribute being an ENTITIES attribute *or* the entities that they could use in it! Basically, the stylesheet could be used for validation even if the source XML couldn't be validated according to the DTD. But probably you've got procedural things in place to make sure that's never an issue.
