I would say yes, because it only affects the DTD >and it's something that will almost certainly be in the revised SGML. 11.4.1 refers to data entities, which are only associated with Entity declarations. It does not make sense to allow an entity to reference another entity, either directly or via an ID. As the notation of the entity has to be specified after the NDATA keyword it does not make sense to have a possibly conflicting notation attribute. ---- Martin Bryan, The SGML Centre, Churchdown, Glos.
