Hey Michael,
Sure - that's true for validating.
But I'm talking about non-validating processing.
For example, Xerces is a dual mode parser: it can operate in validating
mode, or in non-validating (well-formedness checking) mode.
In non-validating mode, if standalone='yes' there is by definition
no

Hey,
When standalone='yes', there can be no declarations in the external
subset that (as you say) would [allow Xerces to] "detect
well-formedness
errors that it might otherwise miss and supply the same document
information
to the application that a validating parser would."
Presumably the DTD is

the DTD for entities, even if you don't want to do validation."]

Why? If I want to validate using a W3C XML Schema, why do I have to
read the DTD? Are you suggesting that Xerces will read the exte
Hi,
XML Parsers still have to resolve the DTD for entities, even if you
don't want to do validation.
