not according to the XML specification
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#wf-entdeclared
Note that if entities are declared in the external subset or in external parameter entities, a non-validating processor is not obligated to read and process their declarations; for such documents, the rule that an entity must be declared is a well-formedness constraint only if standalone='yes'.
