[Bug 7007] New: WFC Entity Declared and standalone documents

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=7007

           Summary: WFC Entity Declared and standalone documents
           Product: Validator
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Parser
        AssignedTo: dave.null@w3.org
        ReportedBy: scampa.giovanni@gmail.com
         QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org


While validating an XML document, the violation of WFC Entity Declared (
http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#wf-entdeclared ) is not reported if the entity is
declared in the external subset, even if the document is declared as
"standalone=yes".

An example of this behaviour:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="uft-8" standalone="yes"?>
<!DOCTYPE test SYSTEM "http://example.org/test.dtd"><test>&test;</test>

where test.dtd contains:
<!ENTITY test "test content">
<!ELEMENT test (#PCDATA)*>

is considered valid by the markup validator, but it should be a Fatal Error
according to XML, because the document is not well-formed (and thus cannot be
valid).

(Tested using the version online at validator.w3.org)
