There seems to be a very fine difference:
Given these declarations:
<!ENTITY % ATTLIST "ATTLIST ">
<!ENTITY % CLOSE ">">
<!ENTITY % ELEMNAME "doc">
<!ENTITY % ATTNAME "att">
This would be well-formed, but not valid, I believe:
<!%ATTLIST; %ELEMNAME;%ATTNAME; CDATA #FIXED "value"%CLOSE;
since now the references are not in the position of a DeclSep.
What sense would that difference make?
