If the XML recommendation treats this the same way that the SGML
standard does, this is because the notation declaration must be declared
before it is used. With the construction you show however, the entity
declaration will be evaluated before hml.dtd is ever seen by the
processor. Try moving the notation declaration to the line before the
entity declaration and process again.
