Summary: Re: WFC: Entity Declared & Section 5.1

Initial Comment:
This patch addresses three issues:
1) Bug #569461:
(conformance with OASIS test-suite) - partial fix
2) Bug #570263 (attr default & external PEs)
3) tab->blank conversion for xmlparse.c.

See the attached files PatchDesc.txt
for a description, and PatchImpl.txt
for an overview of the implementation.

The patch consists of the attached files 
expat.h (based on CVS rev. 1.26) and
xmlparse.c (based on CVS rev. 1.47).
For diff purposes I have attached an "untabified"
version of xmlparse.c rev. 1.47, since a diff against
the CVS version would be meaningless.

Karl

P.S: I have not attached this to one of the bugs,
since it is too large a patch.

I forgot to mention that the behaviour of the 
skippedEntityHandler callback was modified,
to be in line with the SAX2 specs, but also for
logical reasons:

It makes not much sense to report skipped parameter
entities in declarations and skipped general entities in
attribute values, because such events would be
"out of sync" with the sequence of other callbacks.

Btw, this is an issue that did also come up when
discussing the internalEntityRefHandler feature request, i.e.
when considering the option of *not* expanding such entities.

In this case we were thinking about a special (optional)
marker character (similar to the NS separator). That approach
would also be applicable to the case of skipped entities.
