In a document without any DTD, a document with only an internal DTD 
subset which contains no parameter entity references, or a document with 
" standalone='yes'

then an entity reference means that the document is not well formed and 
so it is a "fatal error" from which an xml parser is not allowed to 
recover,

if there is an external  dtd subset that has not been read then a 
reference is a validity error which means that a non validating parser 
id not obliged to report it.
