Alternatively, you can use an internal subset (DTD syntax inside the
document itself, which keeps things self-contained)...
or you skip the mnemonic names and just use numeric character references...
or you skip those and just use the characters themselves and pick an
encoding which supports them and which your processor understands. (if in
doubt, UTF-8 does support everything and is supported by all XML
processors).
(Schema considered adding an Entity-like macro/import facility, but decided
to leave this for other standards to deal with. Unfortunately there hasn't
yet been a clear consensus on what the best replacement is...)
