Looking again at this, I see that there are several other items on the
list that are only true if the relevant declarations have been read.
For example, a non-validating processor might not be able to pass
information about declared notations.

So for now I will just take out the word "validating" from item 10, and
we can consider later whether we want to discuss unread declarations in
that section.
