[XML-SIG] xmlproc, SAX and EntityResolver

[uche.ogbuji@fourthought.com]

According to the (Java) SAX docs,

"""
public interface EntityResolver 

Basic interface for resolving entities. 

If a SAX application needs to implement customized handling for external 
entities, it must implement this interface and register
an instance with the SAX parser using the parser's setEntityResolver method.

The parser will then allow the application to intercept any external entities 
(including the external DTD subset and external
parameter entities, if any) before including them.
"""

And this is how the xmlproc in xml-0.4 used to work.  If I implemented 
entityResolver in a handler, and registered it, I'd get the entity events for 
the external DTD declaration as well as any other entities declared.

This no longer appears to work in xml-0.5.  Unfortunately, my current code it 
pretty complex, and I first of all want to make sure this wasn't an 
intentional change.  I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it to xmlproc, but if I'm 
told this should _not_ be so, I'll work on a stripped-down test-case.

Thanks.
