Tobin's Infoset for external entities

I've been asked:
>Is there a publicly accessible equivalent to the

There isn't that I'm aware of, and that is a problem since you must 
understand this process in order to implement the decryption transform [1]. 
Unless someone planned on presenting it in another specification, I expect 
we should include it within the decryption transform specification itself. 
Richard/XML-Core, any objections?



[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlenc-decrypt#func-decrypt
Wrap the resulting octet stream with the octets representation of dummy 
tags (i.e., <dummy> and </dummy>) as proposed by Richard Tobin in [Tobin], 
and if needed, prepend the octets representing an XML declaration and a 
document type declaration. In order to parse the octet stream in the 
context of C, all the namespace declarations in C MUST be added to the 
dummy element. Also all the entity declarations in C MUST be added to the 
document type declaration.
