2.2.17 [XML] Section 4.7, Notation Declarations

  • Article

C0023:

The specification states:

 XML processors MUST provide applications with the name and external identifier(s) 
 of any notation declared and referred to in an attribute value, attribute 
 definition, or entity declaration. They MAY additionally resolve the external 
 identifier into the system identifier, file name, or other information needed to 
 allow the application to call a processor for data in the notation described. (It 
 is not an error, however, for XML documents to declare and refer to notations for 
 which notation-specific applications are not available on the system where the XML 
 processor or application is running.)

MSXML3 and MSXML6

An external identifier is not resolved into the system identifier, file name, or other information needed to allow the application to call a processor for data in the notation described.
