Hi all,

The w3c validator does not complain about entity declarations in the 
DOCTYPE section. Is it right for XHTML strict pages, or is it a bug? 
Firefox, for example, does not understand either the declarations, like 
the example below
 
<!DOCTYPE  html   PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
 [<!ENTITY foo  "bar"> ]>

nor the references in the body of the document, as  follows:

<small>Just using the internal entity I declared &foo;</small>

Best regards,

Anderson SANTANA
