XML processors are supposed to notify applications when the name of an
external unparsed entity occurs in an attribute of type ENTITY or ENTITIES.
That works fine in a validating environment in which you actually have
attribute declarations, but well-formed documents may not have that support.

Are well-formedness processors supposed to guess about this, or is it just up
to the application to figure it out for itself and backtrack to the
appropriate entity declaration? (That is, if it cares...)
