If there is an external dtd that hasn't been read then an application
can (if it wants) trap the undefined entity and do something with it (as
the document as a whole is still well formed) but if (as in this case)
there is no DOCTYPE but there is an entity reference then the document
is not well formed and while it would no doubt be technically possible
to trap the entity references I believe it would not be conformant with
the XML recommendation
