[XML-SIG] Parsers which include external parsed entities

| Are there any parsers out there which automatically include external
| parsed entities?

xmlproc does, both in validating and well-formedness mode.
 
| I've found that I have to pipe my xml files through SGMLNORM (which,
| ugh, upcases all my tags) to get this effect.
 
Why not use SX instead? That shouldn't have the same problem.

| Is there a technical reason why these parsers DON'T automatically
| "include" externally parsed entities when producing SAX or ESIS (and
| then DOM) output?

Many parsers don't bother to parse the internal DTD subset and so
don't have any entity information. For the rest I don't really know.
