Re: oasis-catalog PIs in non-document entities?

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Rob Lugt <roblugt@elcel.com> was heard to say:
| In 5.1, the spec describes where the Oasis catalog PI should occur.  It says
| that it must occur before the document type declaration and then (perhaps
| redundantly) says that it is "an error for the processing instruction to
| occur in the internal subset or after the document type declaration".
| 
| I think perhaps this is obvious, but what does this mean for PIs occurring
| in other external entities? 

Those entities occur after the doctype declaration, so they are errors.

| I presume the intention is for PIs to be
| ignored if they occur outside of the document entity, is this true?

That is what processors should do.
