43  * <p>If a SAX application needs information about notations and
44  * unparsed entities, then the application implements this
45  * interface and registers an instance with the SAX parser using
46  * the parser's setDTDHandler method.  The parser uses the
47  * instance to report notation and unparsed entity declarations to
48  * the application.</p>
49  *
50  * <p>Note that this interface includes only those DTD events that
51  * the XML recommendation <em>requires</em> processors to report:
52  * notation and unparsed entity declarations.</p>
53  *
54  * <p>The SAX parser may report these events in any order, regardless
55  * of the order in which the notations and unparsed entities were
56  * declared; however, all DTD events must be reported after the
57  * document handler's startDocument event, and before the first
58  * startElement event.
59  * (If the {@link org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler LexicalHandler} is
60  * used, these events must also be reported before the endDTD event.)
61  * </p>
62  *
63  * <p>It is up to the application to store the information for
64  * future use (perhaps in a hash table or object tree).
65  * If the application encounters attributes of type "NOTATION",
66  * "ENTITY", or "ENTITIES", it can use the information that it
67  * obtained through this interface to find the entity and/or
68  * notation corresponding with the attribute value.</p>
