My reading of the XML Recommendation: The well-formedness constraint "Entity Declared" [1] does not apply to an XML document with an external DTD subset and which does not have a standalone declaration of 'no', since on-validating processors are not required to read external DTD subsets. Such a document may contain internal general entity references that aren't defined in an internal DTD subset and nonetheless be well-formed.
The attached well-formed, valid document contains a reference to an
entity defined in the external DTD subset. However, I can't find a
way to make xmllint treat it as well-formed:
$ xmllint --noout --noent Briantest.xml
Briantest.xml:20: parser error : Entity 'plus' not defined
<m:mo>+</m:mo>
^
$ xmllint --noout Briantest.xml
Briantest.xml:20: parser error : Entity 'plus' not defined
<m:mo>+</m:mo>
^
$
Is there a way to make xmllint do no more than check documents
against the well-formedness constraints, to emulate a minimal
non-validating processor?
