Please accept my apologies if these are non-developmental questions,
and my heartfelt thanks to all that have answered my earlier
question.

I am trying to establish a few points and would appreciate some
enlightened answers ...

1. Is <!ENTITY #DEFAULT ""> allowed? This was really useful SGML
and would probably be pretty handy in XML.

2. Are MS, MD, STARTTAG and ENDTAG forbidden in declarations?

3. What exactly is meant by "no attribute value specs on ENTITY
declarations"?

4. I'm not allowed data attributes on NOTATIONs, and I'm not allowed
name groups in ATTLISTs, but can I cheat and use the following:

<!ATTLIST #NOTATION element_name attribute_name attribute_spec>

or would this be illegal too? Could I get rouind it by using a data
attribute spec?

Thanks in advance,

Simon North
