In XHTML1, http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/strict.dtd :

<!ENTITY % HTMLlat1 PUBLIC
   "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin1//EN//HTML"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/HTMLlat1x.ent">

In HTML4, http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/sgml/dtd.html :
<!ENTITY % HTMLlat1 PUBLIC
              "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin1//EN//HTML"
              "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/PR-html40-19990824/HTMLlat1.ent">

Here is a part of a diff result :
< <!ENTITY yacute "&#253;"> <!-- latin small letter y with acute,
---
> <!ENTITY yacute CDATA "&#253;" -- latin small letter y with acute,
  One file is XML and the other is SGML only.

  Two differents files with the same public identifier. We are breaking
our own dtd ...
