Compare the 'document' production [1] with the 'extParsedEnt' one [2]
in REC-xml.
[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-document
[2] http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-extParsedEnt

Ok, that makes sense. I definitely slept through that section. I slept through pretty much anything to do with "external" in the XML spec too.

(also note that RFC3023 doesn't prohibit the use of +xml for external
parsed entities that are not documents)

This is the bit that really confused me, since I thought I was awake then. I guess I was thrown by the 15 occurrences of the phrase "XML document" in section 7, when they really meant any old XML entity. I should have been paying closer attention.

Thanks for clearing that up.

James
